Light till medium duty

Series made of thermoplastic polyurethane (only in housing)

is a synthetic thermoplastic resin offering high elasticity, a broad range of hardnesses, good resistance to chemical agents and capacity for colouring, good sliding, and silence when rolling. It has good mechanical properties. It does not require special disposal at the end of its lifespan and can easily be recycled.

 

WKGK : with aluminium core,  seperately or with steel pressed housing construction. Load capacity till 800kg. Wheeldiameters 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm.

Series made of polyamide (only in housing)

Products made of polyamide 6, normally referred to as nylon, are injection pressed thermoplastics. Polyamide 6 has a low friction coefficient which ensures good sliding. It has a high breaking point and low wear, which makes for a long-lasting product which is insensitive to chemical and atmospheric agents. Its low specific weight also makes polyamide 6 products lightweight. Polyamide 6 has an excellent ability to absorb colour. It does not require special disposal at the end of its useful lifespan and is easily recycled
