    Default Pallet Lifter Wheels

    I have a 1000KG pallet lifter that I am restoring and it will need new wheels. Old were poly and cracked from age. Was considering nylon as it will be used on concrete. Front wheels are 80mm diameter and 70mm wide and I can get those in both poly or nylon probably. Rears are 200mm diameter and 50mm width but have not found them in nylon yet. Question is what would you choose, poly or nylon?

    I think Poly would be a better choice, from what I can understand poly wheels are better.
    I have attached some details on the cast centred wheels, and some reading on which is better, nylon or poly.
