As the industrial sectors in Sweden—spanning Gothenburg's automated cargo docks, Jönköping's warehousing corridors, and Stockholm's e-commerce fulfillment hubs—rapidly scale, the demand for high-reliability mobile material handling infrastructure has escalated. Polyurethane (PU) wheels and caster systems have emerged as the standard. Cast polyurethane elastomers are uniquely qualified to meet Sweden's rigorous operational conditions, which feature stark temperature fluctuations, chemical exposure, and strict regulatory standards set by the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket).
Traditional rubber wheels fall short under high static loads, leaving marks and showing rapid degradation, whereas nylon wheels create high noise levels and risk cracking expensive epoxy resin floors. Polyurethane wheels strike the perfect balance: providing high structural load capacities, low rolling resistance to minimize human pushing strain, and high elasticity to absorb vibrations on uneven surfaces. This makes them ideal for manual warehouse trolleys and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) operating in Swedish distribution centers.
Globally, the industrial wheel and caster market is transitioning toward specialty polyurethane formulations. High-durometer formulations, such as Shore 92A and 95A, minimize the start-up effort required for heavy platform trolleys. Our engineering team at Ningbo Xinyi Metal Products Co., Ltd. incorporates premium raw materials to synthesize PU treads that are chemically bonded to robust cast-iron or steel centers. This ensures zero tread-stripping, even during high-speed, continuous-run cycles common in automated manufacturing hubs.
Established in 2015, Ningbo Xinyi Metal Products Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer specializing in heavy-duty industrial storage racks, pallet racking systems, and customized warehouse material handling solutions. Spanning a state-of-the-art production facility of 38,000 square meters, we deliver high-performance racking products to global logistical hubs, distributors, and enterprise facilities. With 11 years of deep industry expertise and 8 years of dedicated international trade experience, our annual export revenue has reached over $28 million USD.
Our footprint spans major global markets, including North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, serving diverse client segments such as third-party logistics (3PL) providers, e-commerce fulfillment centers, industrial distributors, and large-scale retail chains. Our R&D team successfully launched 185 new products and customized configurations last year to meet evolving market demands, backed by a robust supply chain network of over 850 trusted partners providing premium steel materials and eco-friendly surface coatings.
Under freezing environments down to -30°C in Northern Sweden, ordinary polymers become brittle. Our customized low-temperature formulation polyurethane wheels maintain elasticity and grip without cracking, ensuring food-grade trolleys operate safely and efficiently.
For Swedish medical technology and pharmaceutical manufacturing sites in Uppsala and Lund, non-marking characteristics are essential. Our non-marking, washdown-resistant polyurethane treads prevent floor damage and resist chemical cleaners.
Providing custom handling carts for heavy components in automotive plants. The combination of structural steel chassis and high-load PU wheels reduces push effort, minimizing workplace fatigue and meeting Swedish safety requirements.
With city retail centers requiring early morning replenishment under residential spaces, low noise levels are critical. Our specialized soft-compound polyurethane wheels deliver silent rolling operation on tiled and polished concrete floors.

Get a Fast Quote & Design ConsultQuality and structural integrity are at the core of our manufacturing processes. Supported by a rigorous Quality Assurance team of 45 certified inspection professionals, we enforce strict full-process quality control. Our quality testing methods integrate ultrasonic weld inspection, raw material tensile testing, load-capacity deflection testing, and salt-spray corrosion resistance evaluation to guarantee long-term durability and safety compliance.
Every batch of industrial polyurethane wheel components and mobile trolleys undergoes rigorous testing:
Our direct access to quality raw steel and advanced production equipment (including automatic welding lines and stamping presses) ensures our products remain competitive in terms of cost and efficiency. This structural control allows us to provide reliable products that meet European safety guidelines (EN 15635).
For Swedish enterprise buyers, purchasing direct from a Chinese factory like Ningbo Xinyi Metal Products Co., Ltd. offers significant cost-efficiencies. However, maximizing the benefits of this supply chain requires understanding shipping, material classifications, and standardization. By shipping out of Ningbo Port—one of the largest deep-water ports globally—straight to major Swedish hubs like Gothenburg (Göteborgs Hamn) or Helsingborg, transit lines are reliable, with ocean transit taking approximately 35-45 days.
We work closely with logistics managers to support various incoterms (FOB, CIF, DDP). By managing both the heavy-duty structural steel production and the caster assembly in-house, we reduce assembly alignment issues that often occur when purchasing from multiple suppliers. This vertical integration helps Swedish procurement agencies reduce their overall logistics overhead.
In addition, sustainable procurement is key for Swedish industries. Our modern automatic powder coating lines feature eco-friendly powder resins, minimizing VOC emissions during production. Furthermore, our heavy-duty steel shelves and structural frames are 100% recyclable, aligning with Swedish environmental targets (Miljömål) and circular economy principles.
For cold environments (-20°C to -30°C), we recommend a softer cast polyurethane tread (roughly 80A to 85A durometer) or specialized polyurethane elastomers with low-temperature plasticizers. This ensures the wheel does not freeze, lose traction, or crack under impact load.
Our manufacturing processes follow international standards. We perform rigorous load-capacity deflection testing and weld ultrasonic testing to ensure our racking and mobile components meet safety guidelines (such as EN 15635) and remain reliable.
Yes, our R&D center is staffed by 28 design engineers. We specialize in custom designs, offering options for load capacities, specific platform sizes, powder-coating colors, and custom polyurethane compounds tailored to your needs.
Production times vary depending on the order size and custom requirements, usually ranging from 20 to 30 days. Ocean shipping from Ningbo Port to Sweden takes approximately 35 to 45 days. We provide tracking updates for all international logistics.
Polyurethane wheels combine the high load capacity of nylon with the quiet, shock-absorbing properties of rubber. They roll quietly, protect expensive floors, and require less force to push, which helps meet ergonomics guidelines in Sweden.
Yes, our products feature hot-dipped galvanization, zinc plating, or multi-layer electrostatic powder coating to ensure reliable corrosion resistance in damp environments.
