DRS Motorised Wheel Block System for Cranes

DRS travel wheel blocks are essential modular components in crane systems, designed to support the weight of crane beams or trolleys while enabling smooth and precise travel along rails. These wheel blocks are widely employed in various types of overhead and gantry cranes, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Applications of DRS Crane Travel Wheel Blocks

• Overhead Cranes (Bridge Cranes)

• Single Girder Overhead Cranes: DRS travel wheel blocks facilitate the movement of the bridge girder along runway rails mounted on the building structure.

• Double Girder Overhead Cranes: These wheel blocks support two girders, providing enhanced stability and the ability to handle heavier loads across large workspaces.

• Gantry Cranes
  DRS wheel blocks are commonly used in gantry cranes that operate on ground-mounted rails, making them suitable for outdoor applications such as container yards, shipping terminals, and large-scale industrial sites.

• EOT (Electric Overhead Travelling) Cranes
  Frequently installed in manufacturing plants and warehouses, DRS travel wheel blocks ensure smooth and precise crane movement along elevated tracks.

• Container Cranes (Ship-to-Shore Cranes)
  In port container handling applications, such as ship-to-shore cranes, DRS wheel blocks enable the horizontal movement required for loading and unloading shipping containers efficiently.

• Special-Design Cranes
  Customized DRS wheel blocks are also used in cranes designed for specialized tasks, including those in steel mills, heavy lifting operations, and construction projects, where high load capacity and operational stability are critical.

Key Features

• Robust Construction: The housing is manufactured from high-quality spheroidal graphite cast iron, providing exceptional strength and durability.

• Flexible Configuration: Four connection variants allow easy integration with diverse superstructures, and multiple wheel shapes—including ductile iron, polyamide, or Hydropur-coated options—are available as standard or custom designs.

• High Load Capacity: The DRS product range includes six sizes (DRS 112 to DRS 500) with load capacities ranging from 2.75 to 40 tons.

• Enhanced Safety: Optional accessories such as guide rollers, derailment protection devices, and explosion-proof configurations can be incorporated to meet specific operational and safety requirements.

• Customization: Wheel blocks can be tailored to suit unique load, environmental, and rail specifications, ensuring optimal performance across different applications.
