Is a special tread always necessary?
< Back to the overviewNo. In general, a hard polyamide or cast iron wheel will work well on a hard, very smooth and clean floor surface. The cart or other means of transport may vibrate and make some noise, but with minimised floor contact, the rolling resistance is minimised while the load capacity is maximised. Further, you will not be bothered by black rubber stripes on the floor. This option is highly recommended, but only within this specifically favourable working environment.
