When should a special tread be used?
< Back to the overviewFloors are not always smooth, hard and clean… If a means of transport also needs to be driven on pavements, over thresholds and/or be dirt-resistant, then a wheel with tread is indispensable. Where a hard wheel collides, causes noise and encounters a great deal of resistance, the tread on a wheel overcomes this resistance.
