Alloy Steel Metal Forgings 42CrMo Rough Machined Crane Wheel

42CrMo Alloy Steel Forged Crane Wheels – Rough Machined for Port Machinery. Our forged crane wheels are manufactured from high-strength 42CrMo alloy steel, offering superior toughness, wear resistance, and impact strength—ideal for heavy-duty port handling equipment and gantry cranes. Each wheel is rough machined after forging, providing an optimal balance between structural integrity and processing flexibility for your final machining requirements.

The forged structure eliminates internal defects common in cast components, while the 42CrMo alloy ensures excellent mechanical performance even under high loads, harsh environments, and repetitive operations typical in port machinery applications.

These are the main inspection equipments:
