Halved noise emissions - with the same load-carrying capacity

Our smart mobility solution

After comprehensive analysis, we combined proven sheet steel castors with modern Syntech wheels for GEBHARDT.

Thanks to these, the noise level of a loaded roll container can be reduced by an impressive ten decibels, which is perceived as halving the volume.

The load carrying capacity, which is identical to that of conventional wheels, remained completely unaffected. The trick behind it: our Syntech is a hybrid wheel. The wheel body and base are made of polyamide, while the core is made of elastic solid rubber.

This allows us to combine the advantages of a hard tread with the strength of a soft wheel. The combination of the two plastics results in optimum damping properties and thus, significantly reduces noise emission.

This also interested the customers of the logistics expert. For example, the whole-sale company Transgourmet mentions the low-noise delivery of goods in its sustainability brochure and highlights it as a special quality. However, our cooperation with GEBHARDT focused not only on running noises.

Due to our holistic view of the logistics challenges and the Syntech wheels, we also scored highly in terms of stability. After all, the specialist for logistic solutions puts its products to the test and simulates real conditions through extensive trials. For example, heavily loaded roll pallets are tested to overcome thresholds and obstacles, such as when forklift trucks bump into them. The wheels also have to withstand cold and heat, dirt and rainwater, as well as show no signs of weakness even in snow. Our Syntech wheels have passed all of these tests.
