Description
The VF Forged Steel V-Groove Wheel is your heavy-duty solution for guided movement, built to handle 15,000 lbs per wheel on inverted angle iron tracks. Available in 3-inch or 4-inch widths with 6”, 8”, 10”, or 12” diameters, this wheel is designed for straight-line towing or back-and-forth motion in tough industrial settings—think boat building, observatories, or steel mills. Forged steel construction ensures minimal track wear during frequent operation, and the V-groove tread lets it roll on smooth floors when off tracks. With tapered roller bearings for radial and thrust support, it delivers smooth performance, but tracks must be aligned within ±1/64″ every 20 feet to avoid binding.
This wheel thrives where precision and power meet, supporting applications like yacht hull transport, telescope roof movement, or moving aircraft components in aerospace. It’s a top pick for automotive tow-lines, heavy manufacturing, and defense setups, ensuring stable, guided motion for your heaviest loads. Use a 2″ x 2″ angle iron track (3/8” thick, groove width 1-3/4”, A=23/32”, B=29/32”, C=1-5/32”) to keep floors safe, and pair with a flat bed for non-V-groove wheels if your layout isn’t perfect. For powered equipment or custom track setups, contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 or sales@castercity.com. Order online and get rolling with unmatched durability.
FAQ
VF Forged Steel V-Groove Wheel (Wheel-Only)
What is the weight capacity of the VF forged steel V-groove wheel?
The VF forged steel V-groove wheel supports up to 15,000 lbs per wheel under ideal conditions (smooth tracks, manual movement at 3 mph). For specific load ratings or powered applications, contact Caster City at 800-501-3808.
What sizes are available for the VF forged steel V-groove wheel?
The VF V-groove wheel comes in 3-inch or 4-inch widths, with diameters of 6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, or 12-inch. Choose based on your load and track setup—larger wheels handle heavier loads better.
What material is the VF forged steel V-groove wheel made from?
It’s crafted from forged steel, designed for frequent operation and minimal wear on V-groove tracks, ensuring durability in demanding industrial environments.
What bearings are used in the VF forged steel V-groove wheel?
The VF wheel uses tapered roller bearings only, providing radial and thrust capacity for heavy loads. Tracks must be parallel within ±1/64″ every 20 feet to avoid binding—call Caster City at 800-501-3808 for track setup advice.
Can the VF forged steel V-groove wheel operate in harsh environments?
Yes, forged steel construction makes it ideal for tough settings like steel mills, boat building, or observatories, handling frequent use and heavy loads. Ensure proper track alignment to prevent derailment—email Caster City at sales@castercity.com for guidance.
How does the VF forged steel V-groove wheel protect factory floors?
Forged steel can damage floors, so use on angle iron tracks (e.g., 2″ x 2″, 3/8” thick, groove width 1-3/4”, A=23/32”, B=29/32”, C=1-5/32”) to protect surfaces. Off tracks, the tread on either side of the V-groove allows use on smooth floors.
Which industries use the VF forged steel V-groove wheel?
It’s a top choice for boat/yacht building, observatories, automotive, aerospace, heavy manufacturing, steel mills, and defense, where guided movement on tracks is critical for heavy loads.
What are the primary applications for the VF forged steel V-groove wheel?
It excels in straight-line towing or back-and-forth motion for boat/yacht building (hull transport), observatories (telescope roofs), automotive tow-lines (vehicle parts), aerospace (aircraft components), heavy manufacturing (machinery carts), steel mills (molten metal loads), and defense (fortifications).
Can the VF forged steel V-groove wheel be used with mechanically powered equipment?
It’s designed for manual towing on tracks, but forged steel wheels can handle powered equipment if tracks are perfectly aligned. Consult Caster City at 800-501-3808 to ensure a safe setup for powered applications.
