Roll containers designed to handle heavy loads require special technical features to ensure optimal safety.
It is not only a matter of designing a reinforced structure, capable of withstanding high loads without deforming or collapsing over time.
Paying the right attention to the wheels is also crucial. The wheels must support the weight, while also ensuring smoothness, wear resistance and stability, adapting to different surfaces and operating conditions.
The load capacity of the wheels is a significant factor in selecting industrial roll solutions, particularly for loads of up to 720 kg. Relying on wheels designed to withstand these capacities is essential for ensuring efficiency and safety. Italiana Containers offers the STRONG Polyurethane Nylon Wheel Kit, a combination of materials that combines the best characteristics of two complementary polymers: nylon, known for its mechanical strength and thermal stability, and polyurethane, which adds elasticity and durability. The combination of these materials ensures the wheels’ exceptional robustness, reliability and longevity, making them the ideal solution for the most challenging applications.
STRONG wheel kit: the ideal choice for heavy-duty industrial rolls
The FORTE Nylon Polyurethane Wheel Kit is an example of excellence in composite materials, designed to provide optimum performance even under the most severe conditions. This material combines the superior mechanical properties of nylon with those of polyurethane, creating a product that offers strength, flexibility and efficiency. Let’s find out together how:
- Nylon core: Nylon is a synthetic polymer that is renowned for its high mechanical strength and thermal stability. Its polymer chains create a smooth, low-friction surface which reduces abrasion even in applications involving continuous contact and repeated handling. These properties make it ideal for applications requiring resistance to friction and the resulting heat created in the wheel during rolling.
- Polyurethane coating. Polyurethane is a synthetic material whose chemical structure is based on urethane bonds, giving it an exceptional combination of strength and flexibility. This molecular structure forms a stable and dense three-dimensional network capable of withstanding prolonged mechanical stress without rapid wear or irreversible deformation of the surface. This makes it ideal for applications such as industrial wheels, where continuous ground contact and heavy loads require a material that will not easily deform or wear away.
- High wear resistance: polyurethane coating provides a durable surface that can withstand repeated mechanical stress without degrading.
- Smoothness and reduced friction: the nylon core allows trolleys to be moved easely even under heavy loads, improving operational efficiency.
- High load capacity: perfect for good handling up to a 720 kg, thanks to the strength of the nylon core.
- Suitable for a variety of surfaces: nylon polyurethane performs well on both smooth and uneven pavements such as asphalt, concrete beats, cobblestones and self-locking paving.
- Chemical and thermal resistance: the material is resistant to oils, solvents and temperature changes, maintaining reliable performance even under demanding industrial conditions.
Thanks to these features, the FORTE Wheel Kit is the perfect solution for Roll Containers and carts intended for heavy logistics, combining smoothness and strength with a design designed to last.
Wheels for Heavy Duty Roll Container: swivel with brake, swivel or fixed?
The braking system built into the swivel wheels of industrial rolls is essential to ensure safety and stability during operations, especially when working on sloping surfaces, with unstable loads or during transportation. The brake allows the roll to be safely locked, preventing accidental movements that could compromise the integrity of the load or cause accidents.
Swivel and fixed wheels, on the other hand, meet different operational needs. Swivel castors are perfect for applications where maneuverability is crucial, such as in confined spaces or on complex routes. They allow the roll to rotate and change direction with ease, improving operational convenience. Fixed wheels on the other hand, often used in pairs with swivel wheels, offer greater stability in trajectory. This makes them ideal for traveling long distances in a straight line, providing more predictable and safe movement.Specialized wheels for industrial and warehouse applications
The reinforced structure is a key element in enhancing the efficiency of roll-heavy containers.
Roll Containers intended to transport heavy loads must be designed with a reinforced structure to ensure safety and operational efficiency. The base and walls are made of high-quality box, rod, and wire, which undergo galvanizing processes to prevent corrosion and increase durability. Welds, both manual and robotic, ensure a solid bond between the components, giving the container superior resistance to mechanical stresses. In addition, the integration of corner reinforcements and additional cross members helps to evenly distribute the weight of the load, reducing the risk of structural deformation. Physically, a reinforced structure improves the ability to resist bending and twisting during handling. These design measures ensure that the Roll Container maintains its integrity even under high loads, ensuring safe and efficient operations.
