Mobilizing Heavy-Duty Structures: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Wheels

In the world of heavy-duty construction, moving large and cumbersome objects can be a daunting challenge. Whether it's industrial machinery, transport platforms, or other heavy-duty applications, the mobility of these structures is essential for efficient and safe operations. Choosing the right wheels is a key factor, and at DM Wheel Systems, we know exactly what it takes.

The Importance of Early Wheel Selection

It’s essential to consider wheel selection early in the design and construction process. The right wheels can make the difference between a smoothly operating system and a project plagued by delays and additional costs. Factors such as weight, surface, environmental conditions, and frequency of use all determine which type of wheel is best suited for your needs.

Different Tread Materials for Various Applications

At DM Wheel Systems, we offer a wide range of high-quality tread materials, each with unique properties tailored to specific applications:

Polyurethane (PU)

Known for its excellent wear resistance and cushioning properties, polyurethane wheels are ideal for applications where vibration reduction and long service life are critical. They offer superior grip and are suitable for use on various surfaces.

Vulkollan

A premium choice for heavy loads, Vulkollan combines exceptional elasticity with high wear resistance, resulting in a wheel that can handle extreme loads and intense use without compromising performance. This tread is perfect for applications where durability and high load capacity are essential.

Cast Nylon (PA6)

Cast nylon wheels offer very low rolling resistance and are extremely strong, making them ideal for heavy loads on smooth surfaces. This material withstands high loads and does not deform under prolonged pressure, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.

Custom Wheels: From Small Wheels to Giants of 600 mm

At DM Wheel Systems, we understand that no two applications are the same. That’s why we offer custom solutions, including wheels with diameters up to 600 mm. These giants can easily move loads of 10 tons or more. Whether you’re in heavy industry, logistics, or any other sector requiring heavy-duty mobility, we have the solution to fit your project.

Complete Solutions: Wheels and Axles from DM Wheel Systems

To simplify your supply chain and minimize errors, we not only provide wheels but also matching axles. By integrating both the wheel and axle into one solution, we ensure perfect alignment and faster implementation of your project. This means less time spent searching for compatible parts and more time focused on completing your project on time and within budget.
