The Demag Travel Wheel System is designed to move loads over a wide range of speeds and applications.

The Travel Wheel System incorporates Demag DRS wheelblocks, which are available in 8 sizes with a wheel load range up to 40 tons per wheel. Our range of travel gearmotors offers smooth acceleration and deceleration. These wheels can be used for transfer cars, cranes, or any type of moveable machinery or building structures.

The housing, enclosed on five sides, protects the travel wheels from external mechanical influence. The housing is made of high quality, corrosion-resistant, die-cast aluminium (size 112 thru 200) provided with a powder coating up to 90 µm thick. For wheel size 250 thru 500, the enclosure is a casting with machined connecting surfaces. Only complete drive units are able to provide the solution to complex drive requirements, all parts – from the travel wheel, housing and connecting arrangement to the gearbox and motor – are all from the same modular system.

The patented asymmetrical housing eliminates the need for time-consuming removal and realignment of top and side-mounted wheel blocks when travel wheels have to be replaced. The housing remains connected to the installation.

Special flywheel drive with cylindrical-rotor motor for smooth starting, optionally also with asynchronous sliding-rotor motors for controlled drive requirements.

Compact travel drive with splined journal shaft for direct transfer of the drive torque.

Patented integrated torque bracket with wide degree of freedom for varied connection possibilities.

A new wheel for high speed applications, the LRS system is also available and suitable for wheels loads up to 7700 lbs and travel speeds up to 780 Ft/min.
