A polyurethane crane anti-collision block is a specialized safety component designed to minimize impact forces and prevent damage during crane operations. It is commonly installed on overhead cranes, gantry cranes, bridge cranes, and other material-handling systems to absorb collision energy when two moving structures approach each other or when the crane reaches its limit positions. The use of high-performance polyurethane ensures superior resilience, durability, and impact absorption compared to traditional rubber buffers.
Polyurethane material exhibits excellent energy absorption and shock resistance, effectively reducing the impact force during collisions to protect crane structures, end carriages, and rails.
Polyurethane is highly resistant to abrasion, aging, and weathering, ensuring long service life even under heavy-duty industrial environments.
When a crane collides with a buffer or end stop, the polyurethane block significantly reduces impact noise, creating a safer and quieter working environment.
The material withstands a wide range of temperatures and resists oils, grease, and many industrial chemicals, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
Polyurethane anti-collision blocks can be manufactured in various hardness levels (Shore A or D), shapes, and sizes to meet different crane specifications and operational needs.
Compared to rubber buffers or steel bumpers, polyurethane anti-collision blocks offer superior elasticity, enhanced energy absorption, and longer service life. They are also less prone to cracking or deformation under continuous impact.
Polyurethane crane anti-collision blocks are high-performance safety components designed to absorb impact energy and protect crane structures during collisions. Their excellent resistance to weather, chemicals, and aging ensures reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Urethane’s superior durability, chemical resistance, customizability, and long-term cost advantages make it an ideal material for modern industrial needs. As demands for efficiency, automation, and reliability continue to rise, urethane wheels are well-positioned to become the new standard in industrial mobility.
Polyurethane AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) drive wheels are specially designed wheels that combine high-performance polyurethane tread with durable cores to ensure excellent traction, load capacity, and durability in automated material handling systems.
In the evolving landscape of urban mobility and industrial automation, the performance and reliability of monorail systems are critical. One key component driving this performance is the Vulkollan® drive wheel — a high-performance polyurethane wheel known for its exceptional mechanical properties.
