406 Millimeter 16 Inch Mecanum Caster Wheels Polyurethane Formula 1200 KG Payload Capacity For Material Handling Equipment Parts

406mm (16 Inch) Mecanum Caster Wheel – Polyurethane, 1200 kg Capacity for Heavy-Duty Material Handling
Engineered for omnidirectional movement in demanding industrial environments, this 406 millimeter (16 inch) mecanum caster wheel combines a high-grade polyurethane formula with a 1200 kg payload capacity. It is specifically designed for material handling equipment parts such as AGVs, heavy-duty transfer carts, and mobile lifting platforms. The large diameter ensures smooth rollover of floor irregularities, while the polyurethane tread provides excellent abrasion resistance, low rolling resistance, and floor protection.

Technical Specifications

Diameter: 406 mm / 16 inches
Load Capacity: 1200 kg per wheel (dynamic, even floor conditions)
Tread Material: Advanced polyurethane formulation (Shore A 92–95)
Core Material: High-strength steel or ductile iron (zinc-plated)
Roller Configuration: 8–10 individually mounted free‑rolling rollers
Operating Temperature: -20°C to +80°C
Hardness: Optimized for heavy loads and quiet operation

Key Performance Features
The polyurethane formula used in this 16‑inch mecanum wheel delivers superior load distribution and reduced floor wear compared to standard rubber or nylon wheels. Each roller rotates independently, allowing the wheel to generate vector forces that enable lateral, diagonal, and rotational movement. The 1200 kg payload capacity is validated through cyclic load tests, making it suitable for high‑throughput logistics systems. Additionally, the polyurethane compound resists oil, grease, and many industrial chemicals, extending service life in warehouses and manufacturing plants.

Applications in Material Handling Equipment
This heavy‑duty mecanum caster wheel is a direct fit for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), heavy payload transfer systems, and assembly line trollies that require multidirectional travel within tight spaces. Typical use cases include aerospace component assembly, automotive body‑in‑white transport, and heavy die handling. The 406 mm diameter also reduces motor torque requirements, contributing to energy efficiency in battery‑powered equipment.
