Castors and wheels for mechanical engineering, manufacturing and workshop

Castors and wheels - also for heavy loads - are used as transport castors in industrial production, in workshops, but also in machine and plant construction. Mobile workstations and workshop trolleys simplify production processes in industrial and workshop equipment. Tool trolleys, internal transport trolleys or material or work platforms are also regularly equipped with castors to shorten distances. Castors are also needed in waste disposal. Where frequent movement is required, various locking solutions are used to secure the trolleys. In mechanical and plant engineering, castors and wheels are used to provide mobility in a wide variety of ways; they are used to transport goods as guide and drive wheels, e.g. in transport systems, for lift trucks and stackers, in lifts or in amusement rides.

Advantages of mobility for mechanical engineering, manufacturing and workshop

More efficient processes

Easy handling

Also for heavy loads, high load capacities

High wear resistance, reliability and extreme durability

High dynamic load capacity, good concentricity, low rolling resistance

Low abrasion, wear

Low-vibration transport

Ground-optimised in terms of grip, damping and abrasion

Resistant to a wide range of influences and materials

Quiet working conditions due to low-noise driving

Safe, efficient and easy-to-use hold-open solutions

Rust-free corrosion-resistant stainless steel versions of the enclosures
