Alcoa and DCX Develop WorkHorse Wheel

Alcoa Wheel Products Europe, together with DaimlerChrysler, has developed a new wheel for the Axor construction vehicle. This new wheel does not have any hand holes and it has been developed to protect the Axor construction vehicle’s disc brakes from sand and gravel on the drive/front axle. The application is as an inner dual wheel on the construction vehicle drive or tag axle, single on the front axle. Available sizes: 22.5 x 8.25, 22.5 x 9.00 and 22.5 x 11.75 (inset 120mm), 32 mm bolt holes and a brushed finish.

The wheel has the same load and mounting characteristics as a standard Alcoa 22.5 x 8.25, 22.5 x 9.00 and 22.5 x 11.75 (inset 120 mm) wheel. This Alcoa WorkHorse wheel has an increased fatigue life, due to its new and stronger design.
