Urethane Wheel Surface Contact Analysis

This photo illustrates an 18” Dia. by 11” face Uniload Wheel Module rotating with a 40,000 lb. load directly above it. The test surface has a piece of simple craft paper glued to plywood as a wheel “scrubbing” demonstration. Ther is minimal effort required to rotate the axle under full load. Independent on-center rotation of each wheel module is the primary element to provide omni directional travel for negotiating congested area manufacturing environment.
