Wheel Assemblies

FTL wheel assemblies are engineered for demanding environments, delivering durability, precision, and reliability for robotics, AGVs, high-throughput material handling systems, and rail applications such as platform screen doors.
 
Designed for high dynamic loads, rapid speed changes and abrasive conditions, these assemblies minimise friction to boost efficiency and reduce wear. A wide choice of tyre and hub materials allows tailoring for needs such as anti‑static performance or low mass addition, while our adhesion technology keeps components securely bonded. We work closely with OEMs and system builders to meet high‑volume demands with consistent quality.

Load Capacity

Designed to carry the required load while preserving stability, low rolling resistance, and durability

Speed & Dynamics

Performance under acceleration, deceleration, and continuous motion, critical for automated systems

Environmental Resilience

Ability to operate in extreme temperatures (ambient to freezer), wet or chemical environments

Traction & Wear

Grip on different surfaces and resistance to abrasion for long service life and safety

Design Features

Our wheel assemblies combine advanced materials and optimised geometry to deliver maximum uptime and efficiency:

  • Aluminium or cast hubs for strength and weight optimisation
  • Polyurethane tyre formulations for superior wear resistance and dynamic load capacity
  • Custom hardness profiles (85A–94A) for acceleration and deceleration performance
  • Variants for ambient and freezer environments with compounds resilient from –40 °C to +80 °C (short-term +100 °C)
  • Advanced hub concepts with integral bearing seats for next-generation automation platforms, reducing weight and improving energy efficiency
 

Engineered to your application

  • Die-cast aluminum hubs for cost reduction and strength
