RÄDER-VOGEL RÄDER- UND ROLLENFABRIK GMBH & CO. KGRÄDER-VOGEL® is one of the world's leading manufacturers of wheels, casters, and treads made from VULKOLAN® and other premium-quality polyurethanes.
All wheels have one thing in common: they are round. However, there are specific requirements for size, material, and load capacity for each application area. Since 1946, we have been developing wheels and casters that meet the ever-growing demands of the market. From custom single pieces to standardized large series. For use in industrial trucks, in conveyor and storage technology, or in industry, trade, and crafts. Our high standards, our quality, and our innovative strength have made us one of the world's leading manufacturers of wheels, running wheels, treads, as well as swivel and fixed casters. We produce almost all of our over 30,000 different items in Germany. And we are at home with more than 10,000 customers around the world.

Wheel tread materials:
RUBBER
Compared to polyamides and polyurethanes, rubber has a higher rolling resistance and is particularly gentle on floors. Due to various qualities and wheel body materials, rubber wheels can be used for a wide range of applications in internal transport.
PAG
Cast polyamide (PAG) essentially has the same excellent physical properties as PEVOLON® and is characterized by extremely high load capacity, good chemical resistance, high elasticity, good abrasion resistance, easy processability, low moisture absorption, and long service life. In addition, the material has high cold and heat resistance. Suitable for: - Conveyor technology - Automotive industry - Environmental industry.
PEVODYN®
PEVODYN® is a high-quality polyurethane elastomer newly developed by us, which offers significantly reduced starting and rolling resistance as well as high dynamic load capacity. Properties: - Long service life - High load capacities - High speeds - High energy efficiency.
PEVODYN®-SOFT
PEVODYN®-Soft 78° Shore A is a high-quality polyurethane elastomer newly developed by us with high dynamic load capacity and significantly reduced starting and rolling resistance. The outstanding mechanical properties of the material include high cut, tear, and abrasion resistance. Properties: - Medium load capacities - High speeds - Good noise and vibration damping - Gentle on floors.
PEVOLASTIC®
PEVOLASTIC® wheels consist of a PEVOLON® rim with a mechanically inseparably bonded tread made of thermoplastic polyurethane. The excellent product properties include tracking freedom, high abrasion resistance, resistance to diluted acids and mineral oils, and high load capacity. Suitable for: - Chemical industry - Food industry - Environmental and wastewater treatment technology.
PEVOPUR®
PEVOPUR® is a high-quality polyurethane elastomer that offers good dynamic load capacity, high elasticity, good mechanical wear resistance, and good compression set behavior. Properties: - Medium load capacities - Medium speeds.
PEVOSOFT®
PEVOSOFT® is a high-quality polyurethane elastomer that offers good dynamic load capacity, high elasticity, good mechanical wear resistance, and good compression set behavior. Suitable for: - Low load capacities - Low speeds - Gentle on floors.
PEVOTHAN®
PEVOTHAN® is a high-quality thermoplastically processed polyurethane elastomer that has excellent properties such as tracking freedom, high abrasion resistance, good damping capacity, load capacities of up to 500 kg, and temperature resistance between -20°C and +80°C. In addition, PEVOTHAN® is largely resistant to diluted acids and alkalis as well as mineral fats and oils. Suitable for: - Sensitive floors - Chemical industry - Food industry - Environmental industry.
PEVOTHAN®-ELF
PEVOTHAN®-ELF is a thermoplastically processed special material for dissipating electrostatic charges. In addition, wheels made from PEVOTHAN®-ELF are tracking-free. Suitable for: - Explosive environments with sensitive floors - Chemical industry - Pharmaceutical industry - Paint and coatings industry - Pyrotechnic industry.
PE·VO·LON®
PEVOLON® is a thermoplastic plastic based on polyamide, characterized by tracking freedom, good chemical resistance, high abrasion resistance, low rolling resistance, and high load capacity. In addition, the material has high cold and heat resistance. Suitable for: - Food industry - Chemical industry - Environmental industry.
TRACTOSOFT® (85° SHORE A)
TRACTOSOFT® is a VULKOLLAN® composite material developed and patented by us, which has the same properties as VULKOLLAN®. Special TPU granules embedded in the tread provide increased floor grip, improving starting properties, reducing slip, and enhancing braking effect. Properties: - Reduced slip risk - Medium load capacities - Medium speeds - Gentle on floors.
TRACTOTHAN® (93° SHORE A)
TRACTOTHAN® is a VULKOLLAN® composite material developed and patented by us, which has the same properties as VULKOLLAN®. Special TPU granules embedded in the tread provide increased floor grip, improving starting properties, reducing slip, and enhancing braking effect. Properties: - Increased braking effect - Reduced slip risk - High load capacities - High speeds.
VULKODYN® (93° SHORE A)
VULKODYN® is a highly elastic polyurethane elastomer developed by us for extremely dynamic applications. The material has excellent properties such as lower rolling resistance, higher load capacity at the same speed, better ride comfort due to good damping, low risk of flattening when stationary, hydrolysis resistance, and better traction. Properties: - Long service life - Very high load capacities - Extreme speeds - Minimal rolling resistance.
VULKOLLAN® (93° SHORE A)
High-performance elastomer; high dynamic load capacity, high drive and tear resistance, high mechanical wear resistance, as well as high shock elasticity and low compression set; Properties: - Long service life - High load capacities - High speed - High shock elasticity VULKOLLAN®: registered trademark of Bayer AG, Leverkusen.
