Even
300 tons Jumbo Jets land on aluminium wheels
from Alcoa.
They hit the runway at about 240 km/h and the
impact puts as much as 17 tons on the
wheels.
Alcoa
wheels are a favourite choice in the logging industry
thanks to their high impact resistance.
Tanker
operators choose Alcoa wheels simply because they
are the lightest wheels that you can get!
All
Alcoa wheels available in Europe have passed the Japanese
impact test (JWL). This test simulates a truck hitting
a high curb at 50 km/h.
While the steel wheel shows excessive deformation and
cast aluminium breaks, the Alcoa wheels pass the test
successfully.
Alcoa
Wheels are the only aluminium wheels allowed for
all wheel positions of racing trucks. The FFSA (Truck
Racing Technical Committee) approved Alcoa wheels for
the outer twin rear, because of their superior impact
performance.
