WHEELS FOR LIFTS & ELEVATORS

TEP Technica Ltd is one of Europe’s largest suppliers of Vulkollan^® and polyurethane wheels and a supplier to many leading manufacturers within the lift and elevator industry. 

We supply elevator wheels for passenger lifts, service lifts, lifting platforms, stair lifts and home lifts. We understand from experience that safety, performance, price and low maintenance costs are key requirements for elevator wheels. Being able to fulfil all of these demands is why we are increasingly seen as the number one supplier in the lift and elevator industry.

Bearings:

Lift wheels are equipped with high-quality bearings to ensure smooth rotation. These bearings reduce friction and allow the wheels to turn easily as the elevator wheels move.

Load Capacity:

Lift wheels are designed to support the weight of the elevator car and its occupants. The load capacity of the wheels is a critical factor in determining the overall capacity of the elevator system.

Alignment:

Precise alignment of lift wheels is critical to prevent cable misalignment and ensure even loading. Proper alignment minimizes wear on both the wheels and the lift cables.

Secure Mounting:

Lift wheels must be securely mounted to their respective shafts or axles to prevent wobbling or shifting during operation, which could lead to uneven cable engagement and potential accidents.

Cable Engagement:

Proper engagement of the elevator cables with the grooves of the wheels is essential. This prevents slippage and ensures that the elevator car moves smoothly and safely along the shaft.

Tensioning:

The tension of the elevator cables should be appropriately adjusted. Improper tension can lead to cable damage, reduced load capacity, and uneven movement of the elevator car.

Clearances:

Adequate clearance between the lift wheels and other components is necessary to prevent interference during operation, avoiding damage and ensuring a safe ride.

Environmental Conditions:

Consideration of environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, can help ensure that the liftwheels operate optimally under varying circumstances.
