When fabricating wheels, many non-crane professional manufacturers and crane users do not carry out heat treatment of crane wheels or have unreasonable technical specifications. As a result, the wheels are prone to wear or premature hardening layer spalling, leading to a very short lifespan. This issue is particularly prominent in frequently used locations such as metallurgical plants, docks, seaports, and railways, where the lifespan of the wheels is only one or two years, resulting in substantial manpower and material costs for maintenance. Our experience indicates that by establishing reasonable technical specifications for wheels and adopting comprehensive heat treatment processes, we can significantly extend the lifespan of the wheels. The following are some of the experiences shared by our factory in the heat treatment of crane wheels. Materials and Technical Specifications for Wheels Our factory’s crane wheels use two types of materials: ZG55 and ZG50SiMn. The average chemical ...

When selecting the right wheels for your crane operations, understanding the differences between forged crane wheels and cast crane wheels is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and safety. Each process imparts unique characteristics to the wheels, influencing their suitability for various applications. In this guide, we will delve into the 5 vital differences between forged wheels and cast wheels, highlighting how these distinctions impact their strength, durability, and overall performance. Whether you’re working with medium to heavy-duty cranes in demanding environments or lighter-duty applications, this comprehensive comparison will provide you with the insights needed to make an informed choice. Discover how these key differences can help you achieve superior performance and reliability in your crane operations. Forged Crane Wheels Processing Technology Forged crane wheels utilize a forging process. Typically, 65Mn steel billets are selected as the raw material. Through heati...
