VW – Wheel and caster series
Wheels and casters with “Blickle Soft” soft rubber tires and pressed steel rim
The black tire of the VW soft rubber series is made from the high quality “Blickle Soft” rubber compound with a hardness of 50 Shore A. It is fixed to the pressed or bolted pressed steel rim. With a round profile and a hardness of 50 Shore A, the tires provide a high level of operational comfort and good floor preservation.
Due to its good floor surface preservation, the VW series is frequently used for applications where sensitive materials need to be protected against impact or shock. Examples include sensitive measuring equipment and transported goods in the glass industry. The series can also be used in wet environments. VW wheels and casters are frequently used as a puncture-proof alternative to pneumatic tires.
