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 the best option in passenger transportation, because besides offering complete safety they have a distinctive style and never need to be painted-that means lower operating costs!
Fuel transporters prefer Alcoa because they provide greater load capacity per trip!
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.
