Cast Elastomers for Material Handling
Novacast™ elastomer systems developed for wheels, rollers and load-bearing components operating under dynamic loads and continuous service.
Material Handling
Used in applications such as forklifts, AGVs, automated warehouses, heavy transport systems and industrial handling equipment.
Engineered specifically for high-load wheels, heavy-duty rollers, and structural components subjected to repeated dynamic stress and uninterrupted operation. Our materials are designed to minimise heat build-up and rolling resistance, ensuring stable performance, reduced energy losses and extended service life.
Key Performance Characteristics
- Minimal heat build-up
- Low rolling resistance
- Extended service life
