V-Groove wheels are designed to move very heavy loads on inverted angle iron tracks without destroying floor surfaces. These same wheels can also be used to roll on regular floors. When operated on tracks, they offer a most effective low-cost method of taking loads off the plant floor and establishing production line flow. Look to this type of wheel where you encounter acute impact, or where temperatures can crystallize other kinds of wheels. V-Groove wheels, in either semi-steel or ductile iron, come with standard hardened alloy steel roller bearings. Grease fittings for lubrication are provided in all wheel hubs. Ductile iron V-Groove wheels have machined groove and tread 78" wide x 716" deep.

A new high-tech wheel that fills a wide range of applications. The modulas rubber tread, called themoplastic rubber, with a rating of 65 -+ 5, shore A, is permanently bonded to an ultra-durable polyolefin core. This combination creates a wheel that has high reliability, high impact and abrasion resistance, resists floor debris, low temperature flexibility, offers quiet operation and will not go flat under heavy loads.

These solid hard rubber wheels offer good floor protection. They have a high resistance to chemicals, grease and oil. They offer a higher load rating than soft rubber wheels and are easy to roll. The plain, self-lubricating wheels have a press-in, oil-impregnated bearing sleeve.

Here is the most economical wheel for most general-purpose applications. Used for high-capacity requirements, this type is composed of macerated canvas that is impregnated with phenolic resins. Operates more quietly than steel with the same capacity of metal. Rolls easily, yet protects floors. Resists shock, water and oil. Rated at 90 5 (Shore D) hardness, able to withstand -50F to +250F continuous temperatures.

Look to Fairbanks for one of the broadest lines of semi-steel wheels in the industry. These wheels are made of cast iron to produce a high performance, abrasive resistant, long-wearing wheel. In many cases, these wheels will serve where steel or malleable iron wheels would otherwise be required. 4-inch wheels and larger are furnished with grease fittings in hub.

Considered one of the most rugged wheels in the industry. These superior service wheels will withstand the most severe treatment anywhere. Ductile iron material has a tensile strength of 40, 000 psi. They'll handle loads up to 4, 000 Ibs. Available with hardened alloy steel roller bearings or precision tapered bearings. Treads are fully machined so that they will distribute loads over the entire surface. Protects floors while providing a smooth ride. Ductile iron has an extremely high resistance to breakage, chipping or cracking, even under the heaviest impact loadings.

The injection molded polyolefin wheel that's recognized as the "roll-easy" lasting performer. Protects floors, non-marking, withstands impacts. Superb resistance to both water and chemicals makes this wheel the solution for wet and sloppy conditions. More durable and less costly that other wheels of comparable capacities. Operating temperatures from -20F up to +230F. Wide selection of bearing type and load ratings to meet most requirements. Consider this type for food processing, warehousing, manufacturing and office operations.
