Built for the World's Most Demanding Tarmacs
Airports operate in an environment unlike any other. Jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, and de-icing chemicals are constant presences. Temperature swings of 80°C or more occur within a single day. Heavy baggage carts and cargo dollies subject wheels to extreme point loads. And FOD — the small debris that litters every tarmac — relentlessly attacks wheel treads and bearings.
Chemical Resistance: The Make-or-Break Factor
Standard polyurethane wheels degrade rapidly when exposed to jet fuel and Skydrol hydraulic fluid. HERDAR aviation-grade wheels use specialized formulations with enhanced chemical resistance, maintaining their structural integrity and load-bearing capacity for years of service.
Key Application Areas
- Baggage Handling Carts — High-capacity casters with reinforced swivel mechanisms
- Cargo Dollies & ULD Transporters — Wheels rated for 2,000kg+ loads with minimal floor pressure
- Ground Power Units (GPU) — Shock-absorbing wheels for sensitive electrical equipment
- Catering Trucks & Lavatory Vehicles — Non-marking wheels for terminal interiors
Extreme Temperature Performance
Our aviation wheel line includes compounds tested from -40°C to +80°C, ensuring reliable performance whether your equipment operates in Nordic winters or Middle Eastern summers. Bearings are sealed and lubricated for extreme temperature ranges, with optional maintenance-free designs for hard-to-reach equipment.
