    Demag’s LRS Wheel Block System can stand up to the rigors of repetitive material handling tasks, including general manufacturing, automobile assembly, die handling, mill work, and more. Demag’s overall modular design approach ensures that all components work seamlessly together, so if you need a motorized solution rather than one that requires a manual push, you can couple the wheel block system with a Demag gear motor.

    “The LRS Wheel Block System is our simplest solution when you’re designing any sort of material handling car for your facility,” says Brian Stephens, senior product manager, handling solutions and drives, at Demag. “Our wheel solutions are simple for your engineers to design and versatile for use in nearly any project.”

    Strong, Reliable & Easy To Maintain

    The system supports maximum wheel loads of up to 14,300 pounds (6,486 kilograms) and travel speeds of up to 780 feet per minute (238 meters per minute). It features a spheroidal-graphite cast-iron housing for added protection, and the entire system is designed for maximum uptime. “An added bonus with the Demag LRS Wheel Block system is that it’s virtually maintenance-free,” Stephens explains. “Even if maintenance or replacement is necessary, the precise surfaces virtually eliminate time-consuming realignment of the components.”
