Caster solutions for the tire manufacturing industry

No part of the equipment is more punishment-prone in tire manufacturing facilities than the casters.

High-speed towing over rough floors jack-hammers every component. 

Heavy loads and side thrust can cause wheel bearing and wheel bond failure and bend rigid caster legs. Equipment overload is a constant--a given--and kingpins are stretched every moment. They fail often. Metal impacts metal every second of every day.

The tire industry is all about product on the move. It's a frenzy of inside-the-plant rolling stock where collisions are all too common. Most of the time, you don't have the time to baby your carts. 

From green tire racks, build-up racks and reel dollies to tread trucks, bead racks, and level line carts, the equipment can take a brutal beating every day. Most of all, the casters take that beating, and can require constant replacement. They don't have to, and we can show you how.
