The advantages of H-beam steel structures
Demag-type travel wheel blocks are perfectly suited for H-shaped steel beam structures used in crane end carriages and gantry cranes. Here’s why:
Compact integration: Their modular design fits neatly into H-beam structures, optimizing space usage and maintaining structural stability.
Side mounting configuration: Ensures ease of alignment and reduces installation time on pre-welded or pre-drilled beam flanges.
High load performance: The wheel blocks efficiently distribute the weight of crane loads onto rails without causing beam deformation.
Smooth travel and long service life: With precise machining and quality materials, these wheels ensure low friction and high endurance even under repetitive stress.
