Vehicle designers reduce vehicle weight and increase load carrying capacity using Horstman wheel technology.

 

Utilising lightweight materials, hard wearing contact surfaces, and durable elastomers, long life and high performance are achievable.

 

Proven on tracked vehicles, operating in the hardest of environments, Horstman wheel technology, in combination with Horstman suspension technology, has provided a durable low technical risk mobility solution on heavy tracked vehicles.

 

Options available for idler wheel, track return rollers and road wheels.

 

Feature                                  Benefit

 

Lightweight construction        Reduction in vehicle unsprung mass with the use of lightweight wheel

                                              materials and computer optimised profiles.

 

Hardwearing surfaces           Durable wear surfaces for tracked vehicle applications, increasing wheel life.

 

Custom sizes                         Wheels made to suit any vehicle.
