Superior Tire & Rubber Corp.’s team of engineers have developed a revolutionary load wheel design that will change the industry. The patent pending Velocity™ wheel significantly reduces weight, improves life of the compound, and increases carrying capacity. The Velocity™ wheel was created with the sole purpose of replacing the outdated traditional solid steel hub which was prone to heat build up and unnecessary weight - this not only saves us with manufacturing burden, it saves customers money through lower shipping charges and fewer replacement cycles.
HeatSink™ Technology:
Using thermal imaging, the Velocity™ hub clearly shows a dissipation of heat through the vents and away from the bond and material. Max operating temperature is reduced by up to 10%, preventing it from reaching damaging temperatures and extending wear-life and bond strength.
Cushothane® XL™ Compound for Load Wheels:
- 97A Durometer.
- Higher Load Capacity Compound.
- Highest Duty Cycle Tolerance.
- XL3™ Bonding - No Bond Separation Guaranteed*.

“We run a 24/7 operation in a 900k sq ft facility and these Velocity™ wheels have more than doubled our worklife!"
- Juan A., Sherwin Williams - Romeoville, IL
“The Velocity wheels have been installed and running for over 7 months with absolutely no issues at all. They are being utilized in an aggressive, three-shift warehouse. Very impressive!"
- Resident Technician - EV Logistics, Vancouver, CA
“We ran the Velocity™ wheels on our Crown® standup reach trucks for three months. They outperformed the wheels we were using by 80%. They held up on different floor surfaces so much better and offered a smoother ride. We were blowing out our previous load wheels dailty because of objects on the floor. These really stood up!"
