Wheels and rollers for transportation apparatus

We have a solution for almost every problem, whether you want to transport light or heavy loads.

Our current range of products includes more than 8,000 wheels, swivel and fixed castors for industrial applications. We will try to offer you the optimum solution, whether you are looking for a small bed-box roller with a diameter of just 15 mm or a heavy load castor for 6,000 kg.

Many factors need to be considered in order to find the right product. We would like to explain two important factors to you here.

As a transport trolley may only have 3 wheels or rollers instead of 4 the total load-bearing capacity should always be calculated for only 3 wheels or rollers.

Formula:

T =	E + Z
	n - 1

An example:

A transport trolley should be able to transport 800 kg. The net weight is 100 kg and four rollers are fitted.

Thus:

T =	Load capacity per roller
E =	100 kg
Z =	800 kg
N =	4

So the formula is as follows:

T =	100 + 800
	4 – 1
T =	300 kg

 

So you need wheels or rollers with a dynamic load-bearing capacity of at least 300 kg.

There is a simple rule to guarantee the optimum running properties:

• Hard floor = soft wheel
• Soft floor = hard wheel

Of course this is only a guideline. We would be pleased to advise you on any technical questions regarding wheels and rollers and the selection of the right product.
