Industrial V-Groove Wheels

What Are V-Groove Wheels?

V-groove wheels are designed to control the flow of raw materials and finished products. They are common when moving baked goods into an oven, components between machines, transporting loads over long distances, and within a wide array of production line sequences within industrial facilities, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. Designed with a V-shaped groove along the outside diameter, the wheels provide maximum contact with the track or rail while ensuring even weight distribution. This design helps prevent derailing and swaying. This makes them ideal for scenarios where heavy-loads are encounter and where stability is paramount to protecting product, personnel, and the integrity of the track.

Benefits of Choosing RWM Casters’ V-Groove Wheels

When you need wheels with enhanced strength, cast iron (VI) or forged steel (VF) are the best materials for use with inverted angle iron track. Our premium VF and VI wheels incorporate straight or tailored roller bearings that we can cut or lengthen with spacers. This allows us to optimize the wheel for use within inverted track, smooth floor surfaces, and more. It also ensures safe and efficient handling of equipment and materials.
