Wheel Configuration
You’ll find both polyurethane and nylon pallet jack wheels on HPTs. With every truck, there are two small wheels — called load wheels – set into the forks. Meanwhile, the larger, swiveling steer wheels are located on the handle side. Depending on how you use your pallet truck, you’ll need to choose between these two materials.
Advantage and Disadvantage of Nylon Wheels
Nylon pallet wheels are tough. They are made to withstand harsh conditions like cold freezers, debris-filled containers, and rugged semi-truck trailers. However, they come with two drawbacks: they’re more likely to leave marks on the floor, and they’re louder than other wheels.
They do have specific benefits you may need. Nylon wheels are:
- Durable
- Puncture-resistant
- Chemical-resistant
- Ideal for rough, wet, or cold floors
