MWL Brasil manufactures forged wheels for overhead crane, pulleys and gear sketches, also forged and customized to meet the customer’s needs, following the same standards of excellence used for the manufacture of railway wheels. The production process follows a rigorous quality and inspection and control system, from steel production to packaging for delivery. During its manufacture, the crane wheels, pulleys and gear blanks undergo various tests such as chemical analysis, liquid penetrant, ultrasonic testing and hardness according to specifications. These products are fully machined and can be manufactured with finished center hole, threaded holes, disc holes (for weight relief). The heat treatment process developed by MWL for crane wheels and pulleys involves quenching and tempering providing the product with a hardness gradient over 25mm deep from the bearing race. Gear sketches are normalized.
FORGED CRANE WHEELS
