The next level for polyurethane castors

The plastic polyurethane (PU) is used for a wide range of applications because of its excellent material properties. These properties include low weight with high strength, long durability and resistance to moisture. That is why we also use PU for our castors. But we were not satisfied with these advantages. We wanted to further optimise the already excellent material in order to make our transport castors andheavy-duty castors even better suited for the tough continuous use by our customers. With Besothane, a new polyurethane compound, we have achieved this goal.

This is what makes Besothane wheels better than ordinary polyurethane wheels

Optimised start-up and rolling resistance

Whether in the warehouse or in transport and  Logistics, the stop-and-go operation of hand trucks and co. is extremely strenuous for operators. Castors made of Besothane make it noticeably easier for them to start up and thus enable a much more pleasant working day.

Running and manoeuvrability

Thanks to the optimised surface, even heavy loads can be steered easily and precisely with Besothane castors. This makes turning manoeuvres and negotiating tight curves a success. The positive material properties also reduce noise and protect sensitive floor coverings.

Less continuous running resistance

Over long distances, the energy loss is immense, even with polyurethane rollers. The result: operators have to apply more force. Besothane puts an end to this thanks to a significantly reduced running resistance and ensures improved continuous operation.

Pressure stable and abrasion resistant

Our transport castors and heavy duty castors made of Besothane score with a hardness of 83+/-3 Shore A. Even under load and with long standing times, no deformation occurs. In addition, the high abrasion resistance is convincing all along the line: Besothane castors run without leaving a trace.

Resistant to oils, greases & chemicals

Not only in the chemical industry, but also in many other sectors, castors and wheels regularly come into contact with aggressive substances such as oils, greases and acidic liquids. Here too, castors made of Besothane offer valuable advantages for effective long-term use due to their increased resistance.

Ballistic tyre tread

Rotation meets optimised contact force: Thanks to the crowned treads, castors made of Besothane offer a significantly improved contact surface with the ground. This offers users a particularly high level of operating comfort even with especially heavy loads.

Castors made of Besothane are ideal for demanding applications

Compared to standard polyurethane, the above-mentioned advantages make castors made of Besothane the ideal solution for long-term use in demanding industries. These include numerous industrial sectors as well as transport and logistics, the construction industry and numerous medical applications. Our experts will be happy to advise you on the best Besothane rolls for your needs.Contact our castor experts  now without obligation.
