Alcoa WorkHorse® wheels now available for all European truck brands
 
In response to customer and market demand, Alcoa Wheel Products has developed a new wheel for European construction vehicles with disc brakes. More specifically, this new wheel was designed with no ventilation holes to help protect the drive/front axle disc brakes from sand and gravel. Alcoa believes this new design will provide its customers with true added value through the reduction of maintenance costs, increased brake life, and improved performance. This wheel is already approved and available on DaimlerChrysler construction vehicles.
WorkHorse® wheels provide a 5% increase in maximum load as compared to standard wheels in the same sizes. Due to its new and stronger design, the fatigue life for these new wheels has also been increased. Mounting characteristics for the WorkHorse® wheel remain the same as those for standard wheels.
The WorkHorse® wheel can be used as the inner dual wheel on a construction vehicle's drive or tag axle, or single on its front axle. Currently, these wheels are available in the following sizes and fitments:
