Crane Wheel Set Manufacturers and Price Influence factors

The crane wheel set is all the wheels and various parts and components of the wheels. The wheel set not only supports the weight of the entire crane but also bears the weight of the material when the crane is working. Therefore, the quality of the crane wheel set is very critical. Judging from the form of crane operation, when the crane wheel set travels back and forth on the track, the wear caused to the crane wheel set is mainly reflected in the crushing, wear, and pitting of the hardened layer. In order to minimize the damage to the crane wheel set during work, special materials are selected during forging.

Wheel set consists of: driving shaft, bearing box, bearing, wheel, bushing, key.

Scope of application:

The single side wheel set is mainly used in the gantry crane below 5T, the double beam gantry bridge crane trolley running mechanism

The double-sided wheel set is mainly used in gantry crane, double-beam bridge gantry crane, casting crane, electric flat car, platform car group, unloading shipyard, port machine, coal unloader, stacker and recharger, shore bridge machine, etc.

The technical parameters of the crane wheel group are very important, and the level and deflection of the operating mechanism during operation are also a very important embodiment. If the deviation is too much, it will increase the phenomenon of rail gnawing, resistance and accompanied by vibration and strong noise pollution.

Factors affecting wheel prices

Material Cost: The material cost of the wheel is one of the key factors that affects the price. Wheels made of high-strength alloy steel or other special alloy materials are usually more expensive, while cast iron wheels are relatively less expensive.

Manufacturing Process: Different manufacturing processes can affect the cost of the wheel. For example, wheel manufacturers that use advanced heat treatment technology, precision machining equipment and quality control systems tend to have higher production costs, which affects the price of their products.

Specifications and dimensions: Specifications and dimensions such as wheel diameter, width, load capacity, etc. will directly affect the cost. Generally speaking, wheels with larger sizes and higher load-bearing capacity are relatively more expensive.

Market demand: Market supply and demand is one of the important factors affecting prices. If market demand is greater than supply, prices may rise; conversely, if there is excess supply, prices may fall.

Brand and Reputation: Some well-known brands of double-rim wheels tend to be relatively expensive because they usually have better quality and reliability, as well as good after-sales service.

Shipping and Installation Costs: The shipping and installation costs of your wheels will also affect the final overall price. Especially for large-size or heavy-duty wheels, the equipment and labor costs required for transportation and installation can be relatively high.

Additional services and guarantees: Some manufacturers provide additional services and guarantees, such as technical support, after-sales maintenance, etc. These services may increase the price of wheels, but they can also provide customers with more value and confidence.

To sum up, the price of wheel set is affected by many factors. You need to consider these factors comprehensively when choosing and make an appropriate choice based on your needs and budget.
