Performa Wheels are the market's most-superior soft tread wheel. Competitors from around the world have attempted to copy this innovative and unique wheel since its release in 1993. Performa is the original, and it's manufactured right here in the United States in more sizes and treads than ever before.
Why Choose Performa?
- Easy rolling and turning – for ergonomic advantage
- Quiet rolling, impact resistant, and very floor protective
- Absorbs shock to help protect equipment
- Maximum weather-ability and resistance to chemicals, water and steam
- USA-Made for fast lead times and the highest quality
- Rejects floor debris, such as metal shavings, for long service life
Performa wheels offer the advantages of both hard and soft tread materials in a single wheel. Like a hard tread wheel, Performa rolls easily and is very durable. Like a soft tread wheel, it rolls quietly, protects floors and resists impacts with a cushion ride. It also features maximum weather-ability, low temperature flexibility, resistance to chemicals, water and steam, and rejects floor debris such as metal shavings. Non-marking thermoplastic elastomer tread is permanently bonded to a ribbed polyolefin wheel core.
Temperature Range: -45ºF to +180ºF intermittent service (120º continuous service)
Hardness: 65(±5) Durometer Shore A scale
