Nylon is a high quality thermoplastic polyamide and has natural characteristics which make it a popular tread material for industrial wheels. Nylon has been used for decades in industrial applications and specifically materials handling. Nylon castors are very strong and have high load capacities.
Nylon castors are also popular because they are inexpensive, impact, tear and wear resistant. Nylon is used for example with wheels, industrial castors, pallet rollers, heavy duty castors, flanged and grooved wheels and conveyor rollers. Other characteristics of nylon castors include non-marking, low rolling resistance, excellent resistance to chemical and oils and fracture resistant.
Nylon has a high melting point so it can operate at +80°C to +90°C without tread deformation. It can also operate at low temperatures of -30°C and -40°C. Nylon is tasteless, odourless and hygienic making it ideal for food processing plants and cold stores.
Nylon Castor - Design
Our range of nylon castors are manufactured in Western Europe to a very high standard. We offer a low, medium and high duty range with a number of different bore/bearing configurations to suit your application. We offer our customers a complete design service for large volume orders down to individual nylon castor designs. Load capacities vary from 10kgs right up to 20 tonnes.

Nylon wheels manufactured from new to customers own design usually takes between 4 - 6 weeks to produce. Lead times can vary depending on global production demand. We use the latest AutoCAD and AutoDesk products and can provide you with technical drawings and designs in multiple formats for the design and manufacture of any type of nylon wheel assembly.
Below are some of our industrial nylon castors selected from our range because they have proven particularly popular. They are normally on stock and available for next day delivery to anywhere in the UK mainland including Northern Ireland. For offshore deliveries including Eire please contact us to arrange transport. Technical drawings are available upon request. Price range varies depending on demand, exchange rates, raw material costs and quantities required at time of order.
All of our industrial nylon castors are manufactured in Germany, Italy or Spain. We offer a much wider range of nylon castors than we can show here so please do enquire if you cannot see exactly the nylon castor you require.
Nylon castors are commonly used across all industries. At TEP Technica Ltd we stock a wide range of nylon castors including: nylon swivel castors, nylon fixed castors, nylon braked castors, each available with different fittings: four bolt top plate fitting castors, single bolt hole fitting castors, stem fitting castors and tri-castors We can also supply nylon castors with anti-rust resistant brackets for environments exposed to liquids or steam.
Nylon castors are ideal for a variety of applications. White nylon caster wheels are made with a solid nylon material and are the most common nylon wheel. Black nylon caster wheels are reinforced with glass fibre to increase capacity and reduce friction when rolling.
