8" x 2" Polyolefin Wheel w/ Delrin Bearing - 41GH82-01

About This Wheel - 41GH82-01

Choose this 8-inch wide polyolefin wheel with the Delrin bearing for a big wet-plant cart that crosses floor seams and gets hosed, the tall maintenance-free wheel that rides over the gaps with no bearing to grease.

A loaded wash-down cart on a long plant route catches every drain channel, expansion joint, and dock seam, and a greased bearing flushes out under the hose while a metal-cored wheel rusts. The 8-inch diameter bridges those gaps, the Delrin plain bearing rolls maintenance-free with nothing to lubricate or corrode, and the molded polyolefin neither rusts nor absorbs the standing water and chemicals. The wide 2-inch tread carries a steady load over the rough wet floor. The ride is firm and non-marking, at a lower price than polyurethane.

Ideal applications

• Big wash-down cart crossing drains and seams, hosed, wet floor
• Wet-plant transport over expansion joints, no grease point
• Tall economical wheel where metal cores rust out

Skip the firm polyolefin if the load could flat-spot it or wants cushioning; an 8-inch polyurethane-on-aluminum wheel carries more and rolls softer.

Pairs with: a matching 8-inch by 2-inch caster fork to build a swivel or rigid caster, from the Caster Hardware collection.

Wrong fit? More load, or cushioning? See the polyurethane-on-aluminum 41IE82-02 and the 5-inch ball polyolefin 31GB50-03.

Also in this family: the 5-inch ball polyolefin 31GB50-03 and 4-inch ball 31GB40-03, or the polyolefin wheel collection.
