A. AGV wheels
Vulkoprin designs and manufactures custom wheels and castors that meet the most demanding AGV systems.
Vulkoprin applications are particularly suitable for intensive use with heavy loads on all types of hard industrial floors. The wheels have a low rolling resistance and a high rolling comfort.
Our engineering is available to support in the design of your customized wheel.

Products
Vulkollan® polyurethane , Printhane™ polyurethane
Cast iron, steel or aluminium with precision ball bearings
H7 bore (H) or H7 bore with keyway (S)
Without keyway, grooves on tread, roughened tread, corrosion-resistant wheel core treatment*, hydrolysis-resistant tyre treatment*, anodising, specific wheel core coating, electrically conductive tyre**, convex or concave tread, alternative hardnesses for more grip or higher load capacity
*Hydrolise-resistant formulations for hot and humid environments
**Printhane-C™ is an electrically conductive Vulkollan® that complies with standards EN12527 to EN12533. An ideal solution for applications with a risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The Vulkollan® tread material is particularly suitable for use in AGVs. It offers the optimal mix of mechanical properties designed for 24/7 demanding applications:
• high loadbearing capacity
• low rolling resistance
• perfect bonding
• low wear and tear
• long service life
• large temperature range
• non marking
• good floor preservation
• debris rejecting
Wheel
The perfect combination of high elasticity and hardness in a wide temperature range results in wheels with low rolling resistance and perfect bonding.
Castor
Our new AGV forks family has been developed from an existing heavy-duty application that has proven its performance for many years.
Wheel + castor
Customers can be sure that the whole wheel or wheel assembly is designed and manufactured by Vulkoprin. They have the guarantee that the agreed configuration, from raw materials to finishing, has been followed up and inspected by Vulkoprin.
Robots in logistics
- Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs): Self-navigating robots that transport goods across the warehouse without fixed paths or infrastructure. They can carry shelf units on their backs or robotic arms, which can be used for picking.
- Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS): High-density storage solutions that use robotic shuttles or cranes to place and retrieve inventory from racks.
- Conveyor Systems: Mechanized tracks used to move packages, bins, or pallets between different zones within a facility.
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): Mobile robots that follow predefined routes or magnetic tape to transport goods, often used in larger or more static environments.
- Robotic Picking Arms: AI-enabled arms capable of identifying, grasping, and sorting items of varying shapes and sizes from shelves or conveyors. These can be fixed-location or on AMRs.
- Robotic Palletizers and Depalletizers: Machines that automatically load and unload goods onto or from pallets, optimizing shipping and receiving.
- Sortation Systems: Automated systems using diverters or robotic pushers to sort packages based on destination, size, or other criteria.
- Vision Systems and AI Cameras: Used for object recognition, inventory tracking, and quality inspection, enhancing precision in robotic operations.
- High-Reach Robotic Vehicles: Tall, mobile robots capable of reaching elevated shelving units, often used in conjunction with ASRS for vertical storage optimization.
