Description

8″ Extra Thick Green Polyurethane on Aluminum. Shown in photo with 8″ wheel.

The extra thick CP industrial caster wheel, available in green or red polyurethane tires, is specifically designed for demanding power towed applications where durability is key. Manufactured by Caster City, this 2” wide wheel comes only in 6” and 8” diameters, featuring an extra-thick polyurethane tire chemically bonded to an aluminum center with a Shore 80A durometer for enhanced resilience. It’s liquid cast for a seamless build and equipped with high efficiency extra large precision sealed ball bearings, reduced via top hat spanners to fit a ½” axle bolt. This setup makes it tough enough to handle the abuse and wear from power towing, while providing more cushion than thinner polyurethane wheels, ideal for industrial uses without extreme shock, overloading, or poor floors.

Compared to conventional rubber wheels, the CP’s non-marking polyurethane tire rolls easier under the same load on smooth floors, with less resistance over debris or small objects thanks to its soft, thick tread. It’s a standout for environments with metal shavings, like airport tarmacs, where its 80A durometer and special additives allow the flexible poly to spit out shavings rather than embed them—unlike harder, thinner 95A poly tires that can fail prematurely from heat buildup and debris. Polyurethane’s poor heat conduction means thinner tires rely on metallic cores as heat sinks, but the CP’s design counters this with extra resiliency, while withstanding chemicals and solvents in applications avoiding obstructions or standing loads.
