Performance and versatility – also under extreme conditions

Our RS wheel block system is suitable for applications in which a housing made of sheet steel is required, such as for impact loads. The RS system is also employed in high-temperature applications up to 250 °C or wherever a stainless steel housing is needed. Various travel wheel designs and possible connections to superstructures make the system suitable for universal applications.

Further strengths include:

  • 5 sizes with load capacities from 3.5 tonnes to 18 tonnes
  • housing made of steel or stainless steel
  • many travel wheel contours as standard
  • 4 variants for connection to the customer’s superstructure
  • driven by Demag offset geared motors
  • integrated connections, e.g. for torque brackets, guide roller arrangements and buffers.
