	WHEELS
Neoprene	The Neoprene Wheel Ideal for most hospital applications, the Darcor Neoprene Wheel is quiet and easy to roll over all surfaces, including carpet and tiles. It will not mark or stain those surfaces, is virtually cut-proof, and resists commonly used chemicals and cleaning compounds. Its effortless swiveling and smooth ride have redefined the function of the caster in institutional applications.
SE	The Solid Elastomer (SE) Wheel The Darcor Solid Elastomer Wheel is the industry leader in applications demanding the lowest rolling resistance for heavier loads. It requires only 20 lb. of effort to move a one-ton load and only 10 lb. to keep it moving. The SE Wheel provides excellent shock-absorption properties, wears like iron and is able to withstand harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures.
LE	The Low Effort (LE) Wheel A custom-designed problem-solver that will outperform conventional urethanes. The LE is highly resistant to chemicals, has long life and will provide a smooth ride. The resiliency of this material makes it suitable for any floor surface. The strong, glass-reinforced nylon core also makes this wheel suitable for wet applications. The standard sealed precision bearings provide maintenance-free reliability. This material can be supplied in different durometers to best match your application.
