Heavy-Duty Rubber Shock-Absorbing Steering Wheels for Airport Transport

Why Are Specialized Wheels Essential for Airport AGVs and AMRs?

In airport logistics—especially for baggage handling, cargo transport, and airside operations—AGVs and AMRs play a growing role in automating material flow.
However, airport surfaces are often asphalt or concrete, with slopes, drainage lines, and uneven terrain. These conditions demand durable, stable, and high-performance wheels.

Standard PU wheels often fail under such conditions due to slipping, excessive vibration, and rapid wear. That’s why we offer a rubber-coated, heavy-duty shock-absorbing wheel tailored for the airport environment.

Our Solution: Rubber Tread + Built-in Damping for Airport Conditions

This wheel is engineered for airport AMRs, AGVs, baggage tractors, and cargo robots, and offers:

High Load and Travel Speed

• Supports up to 2.5 tons per wheel

• Operates at speeds up to 1.48 m/s — ideal for long-distance transfer tasks

Rubber-Coated Wheel Tread

• Offers better grip and wear resistance than PU

• Performs well on asphalt, wet concrete, or terminal floors

Integrated Shock Absorption

• Built-in elastic damping reduces impact from bumps, drains, or seams

• Protects motors, drive units, and chassis structures from vibration damage

Application Scenarios (with industry keywords embedded)

This wheel has been successfully used in international airport automation projects, supporting a wide range of robotic systems:

✈️ Baggage Handling Systems

Used on AMR baggage carriers and AGV towing units, covering autonomous transport from terminal to sorting zone or gate.

🚚 Ground Support Transport

Suitable for unmanned towing vehicles and automated cargo handling robots, running reliably outdoors 24/7.

🧱 Airside Logistics Robots

Ideal for high-frequency AMR platforms operating between terminals or in tarmac areas, coping with mixed surface conditions and slopes.
