CUSHOTHANE® EZ™
- Smoothest ride and quickest run-out of any flat spot - for less vibration and reduced noise, minimizing machine and operator fatigue and increasing productivity.
- Superior traction in all conditions - unmatched performance in wet and cold conditions.
- Excellent energy savings - very low rolling resistance minimizes battery drainage in cold storage applications and provides longest operating time possible.
- Highest Chunk resistance - especially at low temperature from a specialized polyurethane compound.
The Cushothane® EZ™ polyurethane load wheels for indoor forklifts and pallet jacks offer the highest traction in cold or wet floors, providing grip even on slippery floors. Cushothane® EZ™ holds its softness and flexibility beyond the normal cold storage/freezer temperature range. The competitor’s harder compound and different chemistry quickly become harder and more brittle in regular cold storage/freezer temperatures, causing a harder ride, loss of traction, and chunking. We engineered the Cushothane® EZ™ to maintain high cut & tear resistance at low temperatures. Available in dual and triple wheel assemblies and can be purchased pre-assembled to include pressed-in bearings, spacers & axles drop-in ready to save you time.
Consistently Soft with High Chunk Resistance:
- Cushothane®EZ™ holds it’s softness and flexibility beyond normal cold storage/freezer temperature range.
- The competitor’s harder compound and different chemistry quickly becomes harder and more brittle in normal cold storage/freezer temperatures, causing a harder ride, loss of traction and chunking.
- Cushothane® EZ™ is a high performance MDI Ester, which has very high cut & tear resistance. Many competitors use a common TDE Ether with modified cure times to achieve a softer compound but sacrifice cut & tear properties.
- Moreover, the Cushothane® EZ™ was engineered to maintain high cut & tear resistance at low temperatures.

Assembly Options:
Dual and Triple Wheel Assemblies:
The optimal solution for pallet trucks that undergo frequent tight-turns typically found in single-direction style warehouse operations. During cornering, the outside of a wheel tries to rotate faster to compensate for a larger turning radius. As a result, this can lead to one side of the load wheel to scuff and abraid quicker, leading to a common failure known as "coning". Splitting the longer width load wheel into 2 or 3 pieces not only solves the rotation differences, but also reduces heat build up to prevent bond failure.
Pre-Pressed Bearings, Spacers, and Axles:
All of our polyurethane load wheels can be purchased pre-assembled to include pressed in bearings, spacers & axles - drop in ready to save you time. We also offer the individual assembly components that can be pruchased separately. For more information on these components, visit our "Bearings & Fasteners" page.
Site Proven, Customer Preferred
“When an end-user has an application where they want a soft ride, need traction, and have had problems with tires chunking off, I always endorse Superior Tire & Rubber Corp’s Cushothane® EZ™ compound as the best tool for the job. I've even promoted it’s ability to other dealers.”
-Richard Ceccacci, VP - Ceccacci Lift Truck Service
“Recently, a competitor’s tire was flat spotting for us and offered very short and unsatisfactory work life. Superior Tire & Rubber Corp’s Cushothane® EZ™ Smooth Crown tire, siped for traction, eliminated the flat-spotting, giving us truly the longest ride and greatest value.”
-Bob Bartolomeo, Maintenance Supervisor - SYSCO Foods Services
