Track Wheels / Crane Wheels Overview
On the job, track wheels and crane wheels are replaced because of flange wear,
flange breakage, and mechanical overloads characterized by pitting and spalling.
Each of these in-service factors must be carefully considered before the
combination of wheel design, material selection, hardness pattern and heat
treating technology is selected.
That's why every Xtek hardened steel track wheel and crane wheel is specially
designed and heat treated to maximize its resistance to the damaging forces at
work in heavy industrial applications.
Xtek Track Wheels / Crane Wheels are:
- Manufactured from fine gain, fully killed, vacuum degassed forged medium
carbon steel
- Heat treated using our in house processes to provide
a uniform contour hardness in the tread and inner flange wear surfaces, while
maintaining a ductile core to resist shock loads
- Resistant to flange fracture or wear
- Designed to resist pitting and spalling
Advantages of Xtek forged Track Wheels / Crane Wheels:
- Reduce maintenance cost of your wheels and wheel assemblies
-
Improve the life of your rail
- Provide an additional 40% load carrying capability over rim toughened
wheels
- Delivery in 6-8 weeks, less when required
Applications:
- Overhead cranes, gantry and portal cranes, transfer cars
- Antennae,
stadium roofs, cable cars, horse pulled carriages (and many more)
Almost a century of heat treatment
experience goes into each Xtek
wheel. |

Experienced machinists and the latest
in CNC technology assure that
concentricity and accuracy are built into
every Xtek track and crane wheel. |
