The Classic III (Hard Cap Without Snap-On)
Poly-Flex, Inc. has always provided innovative responses to the needs of the trash cart industry. With our experience, expertise and commitment to quality, we develop wheels that produce solutions to market demands.

At the core of our products is our traditional Classic III wheel. Long accepted for its attractive price, distinctive look, and durability, the Classic III had proven itself as a superior wheel in any application. Processed from the same plastic used to form automotive fuel cells, the Classic III provides the long lasting service that is demanded for trash cart use. (Design incorporates elements of U.S Des. Patent 325,053, U.S. Des. Patent 327,048, U.S. Des. Patent 352,687 and U.S. Des. Patent 328,048)

The Snap-On
Municipalities and private haulers alike want trash cart wheels that are simple to assemble-that stay on-and are easy to take off. Now, with the introduction of the Snap-On wheel in 1998, Poly-Flex has met that demand.

The Poly-Flex Snap-On™ (patent pending) self-locking wheel system brings our time tested superior strength wheel design and makes an already outstanding wheel even better. Working with existing axle specifications, our patented system eliminates the need for pail nuts or any other form of wheel retention devices. No tools are required to mount this wheel. Minor hand pressure snaps the wheel securely to the axle resulting in an assembly process which is faster, non-strenuous and safer. Once on, the Snap-On wheel stays on until the user wants to take it off. Then the Snap-On wheel simply "snaps-off" with little effort-whenever and wherever a wheel replacement is desired.

Flexibility completes the package. The Poly-Flex Snap-On™ system can be incorporated into any of our wheel designs and all axle dimensions. This makes the Poly-Flex Snap-On system available for all trash carts. (U.S. Patent 6,170,920, patents pending: U.S. Pat. App. S.N.-09/701,759 and U.S. Pat App. S.N.-09/757,448)

The Ultra-Cap
A significant enhancement to our blow-molded wheel is now available in the Poly-Flex ULTRA-CAP. The Poly-Flex ULTRA-CAP (patent pending) treaded wheel responds to the trash cart industry's demand for a quieter wheel.

Users no longer have to compromise strength or functionality to enjoy a low noise to roll level. Utilizing a specially formulated form of plastic, the ULTRA-CAP tread provides a low rolling noise level that until now was provided only be rubber products.

Not just a pretty face, the ULTRA-CAP is designed to handle the worst of any workload due to the superior strength of the Poly-Flex blow-molded wheel. No longer will users suffer from the age old problems of tire de-mounting that occurs with other wheels in an automated trash removal system. With the ULTRA-CAP, you can truly have it all. (U.S. Pat. 5,518,682 and U.S. Pat 5,316,377: other patents pending)

The Quiet Cap
The Quiet Cap was our first composite blow-molded wheel that rolls quietly. Not only is the Quiet Cap successful in reducing the noise level, an added benefit is that the rings are impossible to remove because the Quiet Cap's rings are heat-fused to the blow-molded wheel. This in combination with the strength of the blow-molded wheel makes the Quiet Cap design ideal for automated trash systems.

Available in Sunburst and Classic III wheel designs, the Quiet Cap offers exceptional tread to surface grip and eliminates the problem of tire demounting in trash carts used in automated systems.
