Wheel Track with Plastic or Steel Wheels
Sprint Drives offers the Wheel Track with Plastic or Steel Wheels, a flexible, medium-duty conveyor solution designed for efficient movement of a wide range of goods in gravity-fed or push-assisted applications. This robust system is engineered to handle both light and heavy items smoothly, with the option to choose between plastic wheels for quiet, gentle handling or steel wheels for greater durability and load capacity.
Each track consists of a galvanized steel profile housing freely rotating wheels that support low-friction, reliable transport of cartons, trays, bins, or heavier components. The modular design allows easy customization to suit different conveyor lengths and wheel spacings, while the snap-in wheel mounting system ensures straightforward installation and maintenance.
Plastic wheels can be equipped with rubber gaskets for delicate items that require reduced noise and extra surface protection. Steel wheels offer enhanced strength and are ideal for rugged or chilled environments, with operating temperature ranges accommodating a variety of applications, including partially frozen settings.
