What Are The Advantages Of Light Backhoe Loaders? What Are Industrial Wheels?

What are industrial wheels?

Industrial wheels are wheels specially designed for industrial use, covering a wide range of industrial equipment, machinery and vehicles to withstand heavy loads, overload use and Ethernet working environment requirements. They are part of the wheels in industrial equipment, mainly used for transportation, handling, loading and other operations.

Industrial rims are key components of industrial vehicles and mechanical equipment, supporting and mounting tires. They are designed to cope with different working conditions and load conditions to ensure the stability and safety of the equipment. The following is a detailed introduction to industrial rims:

1. The role of industrial rims

1. Load-bearing function: The rim needs to bear the total weight of the equipment and the dynamic load during work.

2. Support the tire: The design of the rim ensures that the tire fits tightly, thus maintaining good airtightness and stability.

3. Power transmission: When the equipment is traveling and operating, the rim transmits the power of the engine or drive system to the ground, pushing the equipment forward or operating.

2. Materials of Industrial Rim

Industrial rims are usually made of the following materials to meet different application requirements:

1. Steel rims: The most common type of material, widely used due to its high strength and durability, suitable for a variety of heavy-duty and high-load applications.

2. Aluminum alloy rims: They are light in weight, have good corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, and are mostly used in application scenarios with high weight requirements, such as light industrial vehicles.

3. Cast iron rim: high strength and good toughness, often used on super heavy or special machinery and equipment.

3. Classification of industrial rims

Industrial rims can be divided into many types according to their structure and purpose:

1. One- piece rim: Made of a whole piece of material, it is light in weight and has low manufacturing cost, and is often used for light equipment.

2. Multi- piece rim: Made of multiple pieces of material, it can withstand higher loads, is easy to install and remove tires, and is often used for heavy equipment.

3. Tubeless Rim: There is no tire inner tube in the design, and the tire is directly sealed with the rim, reducing the risk of air leakage and easy maintenance.

4. Tube-type Rim: A traditional type of rim that needs to be used with a tire inner tube and is suitable for extreme conditions.

5. Split Rim: It is composed of a multi-part detachable structure, which is convenient for quick replacement and maintenance in emergency situations.

6. Reinforced Rim: Reinforced by using thick steel plates or high-strength alloys, suitable for extreme loads and harsh environments.

4. Application scenarios of industrial rims

Heavy-duty trucks and trailers: require rims with high strength and good impact resistance.

Mining and construction equipment: such as mining trucks, loaders, and excavators, usually use multi-piece or reinforced rims.

Port and logistics equipment* such as forklifts and cranes use single-piece or tubeless rims to reduce maintenance costs.

Agricultural machinery: such as tractors and combine harvesters, the rims need to adapt to various complex terrains and working conditions.

5. Key points for choosing industrial rims

1. Load-bearing capacity: The selection of the rim needs to consider the total load of the equipment and the maximum dynamic load in the working environment.

2. Material selection: Choose appropriate materials according to the application environment to achieve optimal strength, durability and economy.

3. Matching: Make sure the rim matches the specifications, diameter, width and mounting holes of the equipment tire to ensure stability and safety of installation.

4. Corrosion resistance: When used in corrosive environments (such as ports, chemical plants), rim materials with good corrosion resistance should be selected, such as aluminum alloy or steel with special coating.

5. Ease of maintenance: For equipment that requires frequent tire replacement, it may be more appropriate to choose a multi-piece or split rim.

6. Maintenance of industrial rims

Check regularly: Make sure the rims are not cracked, deformed or otherwise damaged.

Cleaning and maintenance: Clean the rim surface regularly, especially in corrosive environments, to prevent accumulated dirt and chemicals from corroding the rim.

Coating protection: Steel rims can be coated to enhance corrosion resistance.

Industrial rims are an important part of industrial equipment. Their selection and maintenance directly affect the operating safety and efficiency of the equipment. It is very important to choose the right type and material of rims according to different application requirements.

Industrial wheels are wheels specially designed for various industrial applications. They are usually stronger and more durable than ordinary wheels, and can withstand greater loads and more demanding working environments.

Industrial rims are widely used by many types of vehicles, such as boom lifts, tractors, cranes, telehandlers, backhoe loaders, wheel excavators, etc. There are many types of industrial rims, so it is difficult to classify them. But most of them are one-piece structures and the size is below 25 inches. Since 2017, our company has started to produce industrial rims because many of our OE customers have needs. Volvo Korea asked our company to develop industrial rims for rollers and wheel excavators. Zhongce Rubber Group asked our company to develop industrial rims for boom lifts. Therefore, in 2020, HYWG opened a new factory in Jiaozuo, Henan Province, focusing on industrial rim production, and the annual production capacity of industrial rims is designed to be 300,000 rims. Industrial rims are assembled not only with standard pneumatic tires, but also with solid tires and polyurethane filled tires. The rim and tire solutions depend on the vehicle application. In recent years, China's boom lift market has flourished, and our company has developed a full range of boom lift equipment rims.

Among them, the 16x26 one-piece backhoe loader rims for Volvo that we produce are unanimously recognized by customers. 16x26 is a one-piece rim used for light backhoe loader models. We are the rim supplier for OEMs such as CAT, Volvo, Liebherr, Doosan, etc.
