Drive rollers for pallet trucks and forklift trucks

We provide a standard range that includes a variety of drive rollers for pallet trucks and forklift trucks, as well as drive and running wheels for a variety of industrial trucks.

Drive rollers are a critical component in the propulsion systems of pallet trucks and forklift trucks. They are responsible for transferring motor power to the ground, enabling the movement and control of the vehicle. These rollers are designed to withstand heavy loads, ensure smooth operation, and provide traction on various types of flooring.

Forklift Drive wheels do not come in one size fits all. The wrong Forklift wheels deteriorate quickly and must be replaced more frequently.Pallet trucks, forklift trucks and industrial trucks are used to lift and transport heavy loads and play a vital role in intralogistics. polyurethane will help extend the life of the polyurethane wheels on your forklift, reach truck, pallet jack, etc.The wheels and castors used on these vehicles need to be extremely wear-resistant and robust.

Functions and Importance

Power Transmission

Drive rollers are connected to the motor or drive unit and rotate to propel the truck forward or backward. They convert rotational energy from the motor into linear motion.

Load Bearing

These rollers also support part of the load weight, especially in electric pallet trucks and forklifts. They must be designed to resist deformation under high stress.

Traction and Stability

Drive rollers provide the necessary grip between the vehicle and the ground, preventing slippage, especially on smooth or inclined surfaces.

Maneuverability

The quality and design of drive rollers affect how well the truck can be steered and how easily it can handle turns or obstacles.

Types of Drive Rollers

Single drive rollers – One motorized roller drives the vehicle.

Tandem drive rollers – Two rollers arranged side by side, improving load distribution and stability.

Swivel-mounted drive rollers – Found in forklifts that require greater maneuverability.

How to Choose the Best Forklift Load and Drive Wheels

Reach truck drive wheels

Reach trucks, unlike other types of material handling equipment, can use a larger load wheel. The larger diameter also makes it easier for the wheel to roll over debris, reducing .or eliminating the cause of flat spots.Perhaps you require experienced technology to answer your question.

Wheel drive pallet trucks

Pallet jack load wheels typically wear into a cone shape, with the most worn edge closest to the outside of the forks. Coning is a type of wear that is caused by frequent, tight turns.Coning is best avoided by using load wheels that have been divided into sections. This allows the load wheel's outer portion to spin faster than the inner portion during a turn, reducing cone-shaped wear.
