Spec’ing lighter weight forged aluminum wheels is a simple solution to increasing overall fuel efficiency and oftentimes, more importantly, reducing maintenance costs. Refuse collection and other similar heavy-haul applications demand a tough wheel. Forged aluminum wheels are not the aluminum cans that are shredded in the recycling process. The mechanical properties of forged aluminum wheels give the wheels the high yield strength and the great elongation that make them strong. High load and refuse applications are adopting forged aluminum wheels because of their mechanical property benefits. Also, as low operating costs are critical, the urgency for refuse equipment to find solutions that contribute to improved freight efficiency, reduced maintenance costs and increased productivity becomes greater than ever. Not only lighter in weight than steel, forged aluminum wheels are also stronger and more durable to increase freight capacity and improve maintenance savings for increased productivity and, ultimately, lower lifetime operating costs.
