The Challenge
Zonderland needed the right castors for a sweeper. Because the machine is towed by a tractor and is in constant contact with dust and sand, the solution had to be particularly robust. The wheels and brackets needed to be capable of handling speeds up to 16 km/h and impacts from the side.
Our Solution
Blickle’s design engineers assessed the conditions and decided that the ultra-robust welded steel construction of the LS heavy duty bracket series would be perfect for the task. The zinc-plated and yellow-passivated parts are heavily protected against corrosion, making the castors perfect for use outdoors. The axial grooved ball bearing and tapered roller bearing in the swivel head allow the bracket to absorb impacts and remain reliable even when going over obstacles or uneven terrain.
Blickle turned to two well-established series for the wheels: first, the heavy duty wheels with super-elastic solid rubber tyres in the VLE series. These are maintenance-free, puncture-proof and suitable for handling heavy loads at speeds up to 25 km/h. These quiet wheels have an abrasion-resistant tread and a particularly low level of rolling resistance. Blickle also used wheels from the PS series with pneumatic tyres which are capable of absorbing shocks and handling uneven surfaces. They are also particularly adept at handling heavy loads and are extremely robust.
