Ergonomic wheels to get heavy loads moving

The effort required to overcome the
inertia and start it moving is the first
problem encountered when
manoeuvring a heavy load. Then
there is the extra push/pull effort
needed to maintain the momentum
afterwards.

These problems
are addressed by
BIL’s new range of
ergonomic wheels,
which feature
special crown treads
in smooth rolling
polyurethane
mechanically locked
and chemically
bonded to a metal
core, which reduce
the force needed to
manually propel
large loads.

BIL has tested these wheels
against other types of wheel
material, both from its own standard
ranges and also those available in the
marketplace. The exhaustive testing
included start/stop and rolling
resistance for push/pull trucks,
displacement and maintain
movement tests.

The combination of the special
compound polyurethane wheel with
85 Shore A hardness, in conjunction
with the crown tread on the tyre
gives high levels of performance.
