About Crane wheels

Composition of crane wheels: Crane wheels mainly consist of a tread and a flange. The tread supports the weight of the crane and enables its movement, while the flange guides and prevents the crane from derailing. Depending on the wheel's position and site conditions, wheels can be equipped with double flanges, single flanges, or no flanges.

The components of a crane wheel assembly include the wheel body, wheel axle, bearings, bearing housing, etc.

Function of crane wheels: Crane wheels are crucial components for crane movement. They bear weight, provide guidance for movement, cushion shocks, and maintain balance. Due to prolonged friction with the track, they require excellent wear resistance.
