What Are Custom Machined Crane Wheels

Custom machined crane wheels are wheels specifically designed and manufactured to fit unique equipment and application requirements. These wheels play a crucial role in supporting and guiding cranes, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. At KCICRANES Machinery, we tailor every aspect of the wheel—from its dimensions to its material composition—to perfectly match your needs.

Key Parameters of Crane Wheels

To create the perfect crane wheel, several key parameters must be considered:

1. Material:
   • Common materials include high-strength alloy steel and forged steel, which offer excellent wear resistance and durability.
   • Heat treatments like quenching and tempering are applied to improve hardness and extend the wheel’s lifespan.
2. Diameter and Size:
   • Our custom machined crane wheels come in a wide range of diameters, typically ranging from 150 mm to 1250 mm, but we can accommodate other sizes upon request.
3. Load Capacity:
   • We design wheels to handle various load capacities, from light-duty operations to heavy industrial lifting applications.
4. Surface Hardness:
   • A hardened surface ensures resistance to wear and tear, enhancing the wheel’s durability and performance.
5. Flange Design:
   • Flanges can be single or double, depending on the specific requirements of your crane system.
