teli PU

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Pallet trolley
Online Ahlsell catalog item: https://www.ahlsell.se/10/forvaring--hantering/lyft--hanteri...

Description of a pallet trolley:
Gaffelbredd: 540 mm
Bredd: 540 mm
Djup: 1500 mm
Information: Hjuldiameter: teli PU

I would have expected to see a number after "wheel diameter" and have no idea what "teli" means. (I assume PU to be polyurethane).

British English, thanks for any ideas.

bogie PU

It seems that rather than actually specifying a wheel diameter, this is simply repeating the wheel type - polyurethane bogie (rather than single) wheels.
Teli seems to be the Finnish for bogie (or boggie in Swedish).

Compare various links in relation to the SILVERSTONE 6615-1150 model:

Teli (engl. bogie tai am.engl. truck)
https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teli
A bogie (/ˈboʊɡi/ BOH-ghee) (in some senses called a truck in North American English) is a chassis or framework carrying wheels, attached to a vehicle, thus serving as a modular subassembly of wheels and axles.

Single wheels or bogie wheels?
Single wheels are preferable on smooth floors and are also easier to turn with. These wheels are however subjected to wear. Bogie wheels work better on even floors. As the load is distributed over several wheels, individual wear is reduced (less load, less friction). Climbing wheels facilitate long-side handling of pallets.

full PU

Just a guess - I think this is Finnish
Note from asker:
I thought Finnish as well since it is sprinkled throughout the Swedish elsewhere, but I don't speak it...Google translate says "truck" which still doesn't make good sense.
