Applications
These forged wheels are ideal for heavy-duty port cranes, gantry cranes, container handling systems, and other harbor machinery. They are also suitable for use in mining transport equipment, large metallurgical machinery, and rail-mounted lifting systems, providing stable and reliable operation under high-load, high-impact conditions.
The steel forgings production flow:
raw material inspection → unloading → inspection → preheating → forging → heat treatment → inspection → rough machining → non-destructive testing → inspection → packaging → delivery.
