The challenge
Our solution
In close cooperation with the product developers in Grenzebach, Blickle designers created a solution that is perfectly adapted to the requirements. After a thorough analysis, Blickle decided to use the LSD-ALTH 101K-AS, a special support caster. This caster has a solid welded steel swivel head and extremely low mounting height tolerance, which was a perfect match for the limited installation space. The twin wheel caster features low swivel resistance and load capacities of up to 600 kilogrammes in continuous operation. Both of the wheels integrated into the twin wheel caster use the solid Blickle Extrathane® polyurethane tread with a hardness of 92 Shore A. This keeps the rolling resistance low, minimises abrasion and provides a particularly high level of resistance to cuts and tear propagation. The antistatic design protects against electrical discharge. The special drive wheel GBA 178x50/8 with a unique flanged geometry was chosen for this application. The high-quality, premium 92 Shore A Blickle Besthane® tread is cast onto the cast iron wheel center. The drive wheel is extremely abrasion-resistant and has a low level of rolling resistance, which increases energy efficiency.
