Crane Wheels Introduction

Crane wheels are usually made of high-strength steel in order to withstand the weight of the machine and the pressure during operation. These wheels are generally fixed to the machine base and are resistant to wear and corrosion.

The size and shape of crane wheels depend on the size and type of crane, as well as the environment and task in which it is used. Some cranes need to move over uneven ground, so their wheels need to be larger and wider. Other cranes may need to operate in tight spaces, so their wheels may be smaller. Besides wheels, cranes are usually equipped with other mobility equipment, such as tracks and tires. These devices can be selected according to specific usage scenarios and needs.

Crane Wheel Types

Steel wheels: Steel wheels are one of the most common types of crane wheels. They are usually made of high-strength steel and can withstand a lot of weight and pressure. The disadvantage of steel wheels is that they are not suitable for use in certain ground conditions, such as soft ground or sand.
Nylon wheels: Nylon wheels are a lightweight wheel type that is used on smaller cranes. They have good wear and corrosion resistance and are suitable for use on flatter ground.
Urethane wheels: Urethane wheels are used for cranes that need protection on the ground, such as in airports or other areas where surfaces need to be protected from scratches or damage. Polyurethane wheels are suitable for use indoors or outdoors on flat surfaces.
Solid rubber wheels: Solid rubber wheels provide some shock absorption and do not require air pressure. They are used for cranes that need to operate on uneven ground.
Hydraulic wheels: Hydraulic wheels are usually used for heavy cranes that need to operate on uneven ground. They allow the wheel height to be adjusted as needed to maintain the stability of the machine.

Different types of crane wheels have their advantages and disadvantages, and the specific use scenario and needs need to be considered when choosing the type of wheel.

Crane Wheel Parameters

Wheel type	Wheel material	Wheel diameter	Wheel width	Load capacity
Steel wheel	High strength steel	400-1000mm	50-150mm	10-100tons
Nylon wheel	Nylon	150-500mm	30-100mm	1-10 tons
Polyurethane wheel	Polyurethane	100-300mm	30-80mm	1-5 tons
Solid rubber wheel	Rubber	200-400mm	50-100mm	5-30 tons
Hydraulic wheel	Steel, rubber, hydraulic system	Adjustable	Adjustable	10-500 tons

The parameters of crane wheels depend on a variety of factors such as the type, size, and conditions of use of the crane. The following are some of the factors that may affect crane wheel parameters:

Load capacity: The greatest load capacity of the crane will affect the size and strength of the wheels.
Ground conditions: The ground conditions under which the crane operates (e.g., hard or soft, flat or uneven) will also affect the size and shape of the wheels.
Mobility needs: If the crane needs to operate in tight spaces, the wheels may need to be smaller to improve the maneuverability of the machine.
Wear and corrosion resistance of the wheels: The materials used to manufacture the wheels and the outer coating, etc. will also affect their durability.
Machine design and type: Different types of cranes may need different types and sizes of wheels, such as overhead cranes, gantry cranes, tower cranes, etc.

Crane Wheel Price

The price of crane wheels depends on several factors:

Wheel type: Different types of wheels have different prices. For example, steel wheels are usually more expensive than nylon and polyurethane wheels.
Size and load capacity: Larger wheels with higher load capacity may cost more.
Materials and manufacturing processes: The materials and processes used to manufacture wheels can also affect their price. High-quality wheels are usually made with more expensive materials and more sophisticated manufacturing processes.
Brand and supplier: The price of wheels can also vary between brands and suppliers.

Crane wheels can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. The exact price depends on the specific specifications of the crane wheel.

Why Custom a Crane Solution?

At Yuantai, we know that there is no "one size fits all" in the lifting field. Universal cranes are suitable for general factories, warehouses, etc. Besides, different applications have different needs for cranes. For example, steel industries often lift steel plates, so need electromagnetic cranes. Ports and docks often need to load ore, gravel, and other bulk goods, so need to grab bucket cranes. Chemical dangerous places often need to carry flammable and explosive materials, so need explosion proof cranes.

So, we provide customized cranes according to the special needs of our customers. Custom crane solutions offer many benefits in a variety of applications：

Improve efficiency: Cranes can use automatic controls, and special accessories to improve efficiency.
Break space constraints: In limited spaces, standard cranes may not fit due to their size. Custom cranes can be designed as compact or lightweight cranes.
Cost savings: Customized cranes can lead to long-term cost savings. Customized crane solutions ensure crane's performance is all necessary for your business.
