HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORTERS WITH OMIKRON QUADRO

Product catalog summary
Introduction
AVT Europe, a Belgian company specializing in heavy goods transportation, required castors capable of supporting 63,000 kilograms for their driverless heavy-load transporters. These transporters are used for moving large items like aircraft parts and railway carriages.

Specifications
The transporters distribute weight evenly across castors using air cushions. The castors must have a small diameter but withstand up to 12 tonnes in motion and 20 tonnes stationary. They are expected to last 20 years with a 2-year warranty.

Solution
TENTE provided Omikron quadro special-purpose castors, featuring a custom-built design with two wheels on each side of the center for better load distribution and maneuverability. The polyurethane running surfaces enhance handling and floor protection.

Benefits
The castors offer excellent durability and reduced rolling resistance, allowing AVT to use less powerful drive systems and save energy. TENTE's collaboration with AVT ensures rapid adaptation to market needs and supports future developments.

Conclusion
AVT plans to continue using TENTE castors in future projects due to their reliability and the strong partnership with TENTE.
