Always on the right track with a wheel made of VULKOLLAN®

🚆 Powering precision in rail logistics

In rail-bound transport, performance isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical. When moving loads up to 1000 tons, every component must deliver maximum power, control, and reliability.

For a global leader in rail transport solutions, that meant one thing: a compact yet extremely powerful drive wheel capable of performing flawlessly across different surfaces.

 

🔧 The challenge
How do you combine:

  • Extreme traction on varying surfaces
  • High load capacity
  • A compact design within tight installation constraints

All while ensuring safe and efficient operation?

 

The Vulkoprin solution
We engineered a fully custom-made drive wheel, built for performance without compromise:

  • Vulkollan® tyre → exceptional grip & wear resistance
  • Custom welded steel core → designed in-house for maximum strength
  • Fully tailored to the application’s unique load and space requirements

 

📈 The result
A compact powerhouse that delivers where it matters most:

✔️ Stable and reliable traction under extreme loads
✔️ Low rolling resistance for energy-efficient operation
✔️ Long service life, even in demanding conditions
✔️ Compact design (Ø 660 mm) with an impressive 9-ton load capacity

 

Why it matters
In critical logistics operations, downtime is not an option. This solution ensures:

✅ Safe working conditions for operators
✅ Reduced wear and minimal unplanned maintenance
✅ Maximum uptime and operational efficiency

 

👉 Because in heavy-duty rail applications, small components drive big performance.
