In the process of operation of industrial facilities for various purposes, construction and logistics organizations, reliable and safe loading equipment and devices for moving goods are of great importance. For such equipment, regardless of the characteristics, industrial wheels are needed.
Industrial wheel requirements
Modern industrial wheels must meet the following requirements:
- long period of operation;
- wear-resistant coating;
- resistance to mechanical, chemical and temperature effects;
- carrying capacity;
- ease of replacement.
Products must be safe for use on any surface, convenient for use inside industrial premises and in open air conditions.
The lifting capacity of industrial wheels is at least 40 kg, and special-purpose products are designed for a maximum load of 110 kg.
Varieties of wheels
Depending on the functional purpose, industrial wheels are divided into the following types:
- warehouse;
- construction;
- laboratory;
- industrial;
- trading;
- medical;
- office.
Modern manufacturers produce the following types of wheels for handling equipment:
- standard;
- pneumatic (inflatable);
- heavy-duty;
- small diameter products (for office and home furniture).
In addition, industrial wheels are classified according to the type of attachment. Depending on the technique used, you can choose an option without fastening, with fastening on a bolt and on a platform.
Wheel rim material
Based on the scope of use of industrial wheels, when choosing them, you should pay attention to the material of the rim. In the production of high-quality wheels for industrial use, the following are used for the manufacture of rims:
- cast iron;
- elastic rubber;
- hard high-strength rubber;
- polypropylene;
- nylon;
- polyurethane;
- polyamide.
How to choose industrial wheels
When choosing industrial wheels, it is necessary to take into account the following parameters:
- maximum carrying capacity;
- the presence of a rotary mechanism;
- material of manufacture;
- technical purpose;
- fastening type;
- features of the working environment for which these products are intended.
For specific chemical or temperature operating conditions, it is recommended to select industrial wheels for the appropriate application.
