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)
