AGV/ AUTOMATION

RAEDER VOGEL POLYURETHANE WHEELS FOR AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLES (AGV/AUTOMATION)

Alachine Industrial Company is a proud supplier of Raeder Vogel polyurethane wheels. We offer warehouses and distribution centers the industry’s most reliable and durable wheels. With distribution and fulfillment centers progressively relying more and more on automation, it becomes critical for all vehicles to operate at peak performance to maintain a smooth supply chain. Raeder Vogel polyurethane wheels are known worldwide for being long-lasting and offering more enduring, reliable performance than competing wheels and casters.


As facilities create more diverse and challenging areas of application, Raeder Vogel polyurethane wheels and castors can meet our clients’ needs with the broadest range of high-quality treads made of thermoplastic polyurethane, polyamide, and rubber. These are particularly suitable for industrial castors used in factory environments for the internal transport of goods in indoor and outdoor areas.


One of Raeder Vogel’s main areas of focus is VULKOLLAN®, as well as polyurethane elastomers, which are produced by a hot-casting process. These are non-marking and the wheels stand out for their low-starting and rolling resistance, high dynamic load capacity, good abrasion, and tear-resistance.

Preventing Delamination in AGV Wheels

Raeder Vogel polyurethane wheels are stronger, more reliable, and stable. This helps in preventing delamination which can lead to early failure in other wheels. Raeder Vogel polyurethane wheels withstand constant use, and maintain structural integrity longer, resulting in less maintenance and downtime, which keeps machines running safely longer.
