When selecting wheels for a specific application, a range of factors should be considered. For some operations, it may be necessary to consult an engineer to evaluate all factors to determine the suitability.u003cbr/u003e- Expected load: The load each wheel will be expected to bear.u003cbr/u003e- Environment: Temperature, moisture and other environmental conditions can influence the long-term condition and service life of industrial wheels.u003cbr/u003e- Travel speed: Excessive speed can damage wheels and significantly shorten their working life.u003cbr/u003e- Track conditions: Misaligned tracks and/or damaged rail joints can have a negative impact on the operation and performance of industrial wheels.u003cbr/u003e- Load limits: Safe load demands should be evaluated with respect to the safe working load of any wheel before purchasing.u003cbr/u003e- Composition: Wheel compositions should be selected according to the types of load and track being used. Unsuitable compositions or material types can create unnecessary wear on tracks and may require more regular servicing.u003cbr/u003e- Anti-corrosion level: Some wheels are better equipped to withstand damp environments. Damp environments may require galvanization or stainless steel construction to withstand working conditions.u003cbr/u003e- Heat tolerance: Certain wheel compositions hold up better than others in high-heat environments.
