Axles and bushings
Because bushings and axles are highly vulnerable parts, new high-quality materials
have been developed for the LWE and SWE truck series. The results from truck life
cycle tests have been very positive.
Feature
The bushings are made from Teflon-coated composite material.
Benefit
Teflon-coated composite bushings offer extended length of service and do not re-
quire lubrication.
Feature
The axles are tempered or hardened.
Benefit
This design enables them to withstand any kind of environment and interact opti-
mally with the bushings.
Feature
Zinc coated axles combined with nylon bushings, only on forks wheels
Benefit
This is a cost effective, proven technology for low and medium applications. The
fork carriage is common with the LWE130 and the Hand Pallet Truck.
Available on: LWE140, LWE160
Fork wheels
The fork wheel diameter is 85 mm and is available in two different designs, single
wheel or bogie wheel.
Feature
The single wheel design relies on one wheel in each fork.

The single wheel provides good manoeuvrability and facilitates easy positioning of
the forks during long side handling of pallets.

Bogie wheels can more easily climb over uneven surfaces and they can manage
heavy loads.
