The Heavy Duty Equipment Wheel Block is a robust and versatile wheel assembly specifically engineered to support and transport large machinery and structures in industrial settings. Designed to handle extreme loads and operate under demanding conditions, these wheel blocks are essential components in systems such as cranes, transfer carts, gantry systems, and other heavy material handling equipment.
Built for maximum strength, these wheel blocks can support load capacities ranging from several tons up to hundreds of tons, depending on the configuration.
Designed to withstand both static and dynamic loading in harsh environments.
The housing is typically made from high-strength welded steel or cast iron, offering excellent resistance to impact, stress, and deformation.
Precision-machined components ensure high alignment accuracy and long service life.
Wheels are made from hardened steel, alloy steel, or polyurethane-coated steel, depending on application needs.
Wheel surfaces are heat-treated or coated for increased wear resistance and longevity.
Equipped with high-performance roller or ball bearings for smooth rotation and load distribution.
Bearings are often sealed or greased for life to reduce maintenance requirements.
Available in top-mounted, side-mounted, or bottom-mounted designs for flexible integration into various structures.
Can be installed as driven or idler (non-driven) units.
Can be tailored for single-flange, double-flange, or flangeless (rimless) wheels based on the rail system or application type.
Shaft length, wheel diameter, and material can all be customized according to specific requirements.
Easily compatible with electric motors, gearboxes, and couplings for drive applications.
Suitable for synchronization with automation systems or manual control.
