Feature
When the truck turns or passes a bump, pressure increases on one castor wheel as
a result of compression of the spring. Thanks to the torsion tube, the other spring
will compress by an identical amount.
Benefit
The truck remains stable and will never start to rock and travel like a 'walking
duck', a classic phenomenon when spring forces do not interact.
Feature
When one castor wheel passes a hole or ends up outside a ramp, the torsion tube
prevents the spring from extending more than the spring suspending the wheel rest-
ing on the surface.
Benefit
In an extreme case, when one castor wheel for example loses its footing outside a
ramp edge, there is no risk the wheel suspension assembly will be knocked apart
when the wheel regains its footing. This is because the wheel that has lost its foot-
ing and become unloaded remains at the same height as the wheel resting on the
ramp/surface. With a conventional wheel design, this kind of situation often causes
damage to the castor wheel mount.
Material
Two wheel materials are available: Vulkollan and Polyurethane.
Feature
Vulkollan is a hard-wearing material with good physical properties. Polyurethane
is a slightly cheaper alternative designed for less intensive applications.
Benefit
For more rough applications, the castor wheels are always in a wear-proof material
that will last longer, while still offering the possibility of selecting a more economi-
cal option when required.
