Transportation & Logistics

Transportation, warehousing, and material-handling operations rely on durable, high-performance components to keep goods moving. Western Polymers manufactures polyurethane and rubber parts that outperform traditional rubber by offering longer wear life, better shock absorption, and improved resistance to impact and abrasion.

Engineered for Heavy Use and Constant Motion

Forklifts, pallet jacks, conveyors, and fleet equipment operate continuously in demanding environments. Wheels, rollers, and impact components experience high loads, lateral forces, and repeated impacts. Polyurethane offers the elasticity needed to absorb shock without tearing or cracking, even in cold conditions.

Key Advantages for Logistics Operations

  • Longer Wear Life: Polyurethane wheels last significantly longer under load.
  • Quiet Operation: Critical for 24-hour warehouse facilities and indoor logistics environments.
  • Impact Resistance: Protects equipment and reduces costly repairs.
  • Non-Marking Options: Ideal for polished or sensitive floors.
  • Abrasion Resistance: Handles concrete, gravel, metal grating, and warehouse debris.
