The rubber material used in AWP (Aerial Work Platform) wheels comes from a variety of sources. Rubber is a natural material extracted from the latex sap of the rubber tree, which mainly grows in tropical regions such as Southeast Asia and Africa.
Rubber can also be made synthetically from petroleum products. Synthetic rubber is often used in industrial applications, including the manufacture of AWP wheels because it is more durable and resistant to wear than natural rubber.
The exact source of the rubber used in AWP wheels depends on many factors, including the manufacturer's sourcing and production practices, as well as any regulations and requirements of the industry. Some manufacturers may source rubber from certified sustainable sources, while others may use recycled rubber materials.
AWP wheels are designed to last and the quality of the rubber used is an important factor in their performance and safety. Manufacturers and suppliers of AWP wheels often provide detailed information on their websites or in product specifications about the materials used in their products, including the source of the rubber.
