Wheel Assemblies
Wheel assemblies for trolleys, gantry and catenary wheels
Why are crane wheels important?
When it comes to Ship-to-Shore cranes, reliable and durable wheels and wheel assemblies are essential to ensure the smooth and uninterrupted operation of your crane. At Gantrex we pride ourselves on the high quality standards we bring to the industry, ensuring that we provide the most reliable products and innovative solutions to all our customers. The durability not only lies at the heart of the manufacturing process but also the relative hardness of the thread and the rail head. Before you place your order, make sure to check the hardness specification of the wheel thread compared to the hardness of your rail. If the thread is too soft it will wear too quickly, if it is too hard it can accelerate wear on the rail. The hardness of the wheel has to be just right for the best aging parameter for both the wheel and rail.

Installation
Trust in Gantrex to provide you with Wheels and Wheel Assemblies to the highest industry standards. Gantrex is your partner to ensure your cranes run in their most optimal condition, we can review drawings and advise on improvements, or even translate your wheels and assemblies into 3D drawings if required. We can supply you with Wheels if you require spares or full wheel assemblies if a replacement of the same is required. We can even assist you in replacing wheels and wheel assemblies on your cranes. We look forward to being your partner in Crane Parts and Crane Repair Services!
Full assembly or wheel replacement?
Normally it is much easier to replace a full assembly compared to just a wheel, especially when you are working at 60m or higher! Gantrex can assist you with that as well, we can source the most reliable parts and assemble them to the highest industry standards. We specialize in both Motor-on-Trolley , one of the more complex assemblies with multiple bearing housings, and Rope-Pulled-Trolley where the assembly includes the Trolley Wheel, Bearings, and Shaft. This way, when it arrives at site, it is a plug and play installation, remove the old one and install the new in the same position. It definitely saves a lot of time and provides you with a more reliable system that includes new bearings and shaft, hence delivering consistent performance and durability, ensuring your cranes remain operational and minimizing down time.
No drawings? No problem for Gantrex!
If you cannot locate the drawings of your wheel assemblies, we can come on site and use the latest tools to translate your wheels into 3D drawings, from which we can easily manufacture replacement wheel assemblies.
