Castor wheels
The castor wheels have a width of 50 mm. It is possible to select between Vulkollan
and Polyurethane as castor wheel material. Depending on the application, the load
on the wheel suspension is handled differently. 3 different types of BT Castor Link
are available, but they all rely on the same basic principle.
BT Castor Link
This system was developed to ensure suffi-
ciently high drive wheel pressure and prevent
spinning wheels when the truck travels without
load while also providing high lateral stability
under heavy loads.
The BT Castor Link system relies on two castor
wheels suspended by individual springs. These
are interconnected by a torsion tube causing the
springs to interact and continuously accepting
identical loads.
Available on LWE140, LWE160, LWE180, LWE200
LWE200 with the optional operator platform
and LWE250 have unique variants of the BT
Castor Link system called BT Power Link.
This system is a new active hydraulic castor
wheel suspension which ensures good stability
and easy steering when handling heavy loads.
The operating principle is the same as above,
however on these trucks two additional springs
and two hydraulic cylinders have been added.
The hydraulic system will put more pressure on
the castor wheels when the pressure increases
on the forks, i.e. more load on the forks gives
stiffer castor wheel suspension. This also means that the drive wheel pressure is
reduced and an easy steering is maintained even with heavy loads on the forks.
LWE200 with the optional operator platform uses an added cylinder for dampening
movement and further increase the stability for the platform version.
Available on all LWE200 with platform option and LWE250 with fork lengths 1170-1500 mm (U=310
mm) and 1950-2050 mm (U=310 mm).
