This demonstrates our commitment to quality and to products “Made in Germany”.

Research and development in polyurethane.

Over the years, we at Blickle have become specialists in polyurethane and have developed and continuously optimized our own high-performance polyurethanes. The formula of the polyurethane material and how it is processed are the main factors affecting the quality of the finished product. They have a significant impact on tread and tyre hardness, rebound resilience, abrasion resistance, load capacity, rolling resistance and low-temperature flexibility. In cooperation with renowned research institutes and using the most modern methods, our developers are constantly improving the existing recipes...

Qualität / Fertigungsprozess Manufacturing of polyurethane wheels. To maintain full control over the quality and performance of our polyurethane wheels and castors, we manufacture them completely in-house. We have therefore invested in the construction of a state-of-the-art polyurethane plant at our headquarters in Rosenfeld. Since March 2022, we have been producing our polyurethane wheels and castors in our new, highly automated polyurethane manufacturing facility, which covers an area of approximately 24,000 square meters. Blickle polyurethane wheels are based on high-quality steel, cast iron,...

Polyurethane materials. Treads for every application. Extrathane®, Softhane®, Besthane®, Besthane® Soft, Vulkollan®. Blickle has developed four different types of polyurethane, tailor-made for various applications. The Extrathane®, Softhane®, Besthane® and Besthane® Soft treads are the result of decades of experience and expertise. This range is rounded off by wheels made of the equally high-quality polyurethane material Vulkollan®. With this selection of materials, Blickle’s standard range provides the right solution for almost every application and requirement. The range also includes special...
