Low Rolling Resistance

Friction is the resistance to movement of an object and high friction can reduce the ability of a wheel to slide or roll – in some circumstances this may be of benefit (in wet or slippery conditions), but in other conditions it can hamper the functionality of a machine.

At TEP Technica we offer a wide array of wheels to suit a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Our technical advisors are on hand to offer advice on product identification.  To help get you started use our guide to identify the most suitable tread for your application.

Wheels With Low Rolling Resistance

Rolling resistance is effected not only by the tread but also by the load, wheel diameter, floor material and conditions. Typically wheels with low rolling resistance have high load capacity, are low maintenance, corrosive resistant, reliable and offer long service life.
