Transport - heavy loads - Import export

The castors and wheels which are frequently used for medium loads are often capable of transporting heavy loads, albeit generally at the cost of operational comfort. The significant weight involved also tends to have a detrimental effect on the floor. Blickle’s premium rubber wheels and castors are designed for specific applications. In addition to ensuring good floor preservation, they are also easy to manoeuvre and provide a high level of operational comfort in their class.

Super-elastic solid rubber tyres are always used for heavy duty applications when transporting heavy loads across challenging surfaces. They are frequently used for agricultural equipment, transport units for large components, forklift trucks and cleaning and sweeping machines. Super-elastic solid rubber tyres are multi-component tyres which are resistant to a wide range of aggressive substances. They provide a high level of operational comfort, low noise levels and good floor preservation.

Pallet trucks, forklift trucks and industrial trucks are used to lift and transport heavy loads and play a vital role in intralogistics. The wheels and castors used on these vehicles need to be extremely wear-resistant and robust. Blickle has a wide range of wheel and castor series available for pallet trucks, forklift trucks and industrial trucks. Different applications require different castors. The castor you should choose depends to a large extent on external factors, such as the condition of the indoor or outdoor surface, or whether the vehicle is driven manually or electrically. This has an impact on characteristics like dynamic load capacity, resistance to environmental factors and noise levels.

Besthane® treads have 40% lower rolling and swivel resistance than the other polyurethane treads. This means that much less force is required to push or pull transport units carrying heavy loads. It also makes the series particularly interesting for customers focused on ergonomics and occupational safety. Besthane® tread also provides a particularly high level of dynamic load resistance, which is particularly useful when transporting sensitive materials. The tread is typically used for a variety of heavy duty applications on different transport units and machines in the machining and automotive industry. It can provide a load capacity of up to 12,000 kg at high speeds of up to 16 km/h.

AGVs are designed to transport heavy loads on a continuous basis. The specific structural and mechanical demands are extremely high. However, we fulfill them in a reliable way with our NGV planetary gearboxes. Because the gearboxes impress with their compact design, efficiency and durability. And we have specifically optimized them for use in AGVs.
