A wheel for an industrial vehicle comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical wheel rim including opposed first and second annular edges and a rim base there between;
- a hub aperture;
- a surface extending radially from the hub aperture to the first annular edge of the wheel rim;
- and
- a back flange formed extending inwardly from the second annular edge of the wheel rim, the back flange formed at an angle with respect to the rim base,
- wherein the surface comprises a center hub section about the hub aperture, a transition section extending outwardly from the center hub section, and an outer annular face section extending outwardly from the transition section to the first annular edge of the wheel rim, and
- wherein the wheel has a longitudinal axis passing through hub aperture, the longitudinal axis being parallel to the longitudinal axis of an axle to which the wheel is configured to be mounted and a center line passing vertically through a cross-section of the wheel, the center line being equidistantly spaced between the first and second annular edges.
