Polyurethane Uses in the Elevator & Escalator Industry

Elevator & Escalator Urethane Wheels, Tires & Treads

The excellent load-bearing and shock-absorbing qualities of urethane, as well as improved cost/performance make it the material of choice in the manufacture of escalator and elevator tire tread. Urethane tread is known to last 3 to 4 times longer than conventional rubber tread.
