The wheel block is a critical component of cranes, particularly in mobile and tower cranes. Its primary function is to support the crane's operation by providing a stable and efficient means for movement and lifting heavy loads. Here’s an overview of its structure and importance.
Travel polyurethane wheel block system mainly consists of wheels, shafts, bearings, and bearing housings. Its quality is of utmost importance to the crane.
Importance of Wheel Blocks in Cranes
Safety: Safety is the foremost concern in crane operations. A sturdy and well-engineered wheel block minimizes the likelihood of mechanical failure, which could lead to accidents. Ensuring proper load distribution and stability plays a vital role in protecting operators and nearby workers.
Efficiency: An efficient wheel enhances the crane's operational efficiency. Smooth movement and maneuverability allow for quicker setup times and faster completion of tasks, ultimately reducing project timelines and costs.
Versatility: Cranes are used in various environments, from construction sites to industrial applications. The wheel's design allows for adaptability across these settings, enabling cranes to perform effectively regardless of the terrain or load type.
Durability: The materials and engineering behind the wheel must withstand significant forces and wear. A robust wheel contributes to the crane’s overall durability, ensuring it can handle heavy loads without compromising structural integrity.
Cost-Effectiveness: Investing in a quality wheel can lead to long-term cost savings. By reducing the frequency of maintenance and repairs, and enhancing safety and productivity, a reliable wheel improves the return on investment for crane owners.
Double flange rail wheel is also called the Demag wheel block system, which is quiet and smooth, fast stopping and starting, and energy-saving performance when moving heavy-loaded doors.
The DRS 200 wheel block weighs 35.7kg and has a maximum load-bearing capacity of 10t. It is divided into driven wheels and non-driven wheels. The wheel types include double flange, single flange, V-shaped wheel, and flangeless (optional guide wheel).
The Demag DRS 160 wheel blocks for stacker cranes are designed for automatic storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) cranes to support efficient horizontal movement along tracks or rails in the warehouse's high-bay storage area.
