Superior Tire & Rubber Corp’s team of engineers have developed a revolutionary load wheel design that will change the industry. The idea was to reduce heat build up - the primary enemy of all load wheels. Traditional solid steel wheels don’t effectively dissipate the heat generated during use and they cool slowly even after the vehicle stops. The new Velocity hubs help manage the thermal energy generated by the tire, creating a better performing wheel.
Superior Tire’s team of engineers took a common technology found in radiators and computer components and applied it to load wheels, allowing the Velocity to limit and maintain a reduced maximum operating temperature thereby prolonging work-life by up to 100% against traditional wheels. The new design also allows for a 70% lighter wheel without compromising strength.
The patent pending Velocity wheel significantly reduces weight, improves life of the compound, and increases carrying capacity. The Velocity wheel was created with the sole purpose of replacing the outdated traditional solid steel hub which was prone to heat build up and unnecessary weight - this not only saves us with manufacturing burden, it saves customers money through lower shipping charges and fewer replacement cycles.
