MORE THAN 200 YEARS OF RAILWAY WHEELS’ INNOVATIONS
SAFE OPERATION WITH MINIMUM WEAR AND NOISE
Low life cycle costs are essential for competitiveness of modern rail transport. Thanks to improved steel grades and modern heat treatment technologies, our wheels achieve a long service life and thus also low life cycle costs (LCC).
Our position as a global leader obliges us to create design solutions that not only meet operational requirements, but also deliver a higher level of quality and measurable added value for our customers.
Thanks to our research facilities, many years of experience and a comprehensive approach to design, we create optimized wheel designs that combine maximum safety with low weight and minimum noise.
Wheels: fundamental element of rolling stock
Wheels rolling on rails are the essence of railways. We are convinced that wheels for modern rail transport must meet a wide range of requirements, not only those of standards, but also those of operators, passengers, and people living or working near the rail tracks.
That is why we at GHH-BONATRANS pay special attention to them. We are one of the world's leading manufacturers and innovators in this field. Our history dates back to 1808. We develop and manufacture wheels for all types of rolling stock. Our wheels are used in high-speed and conventional trains, metro trainsets, trams, locomotives, and freight cars in more than 80 countries on 5 continents.
Our rubber-sprung resilient wheels for modern urban transport contribute to improving the quality of life in cities: they significantly reduce noise, eliminate unpleasant squealing on curves, and help develop environmentally friendly rail transport in cities with heavy traffic and noise pollution.
We supply wheels for all applications:
- Wheels for high and very high speeds
- Wheels equipped with noise absorbers and low-noise wheels
- Rubber-sprung resilient wheels for trams and metro
- Locomotive wheels
- Optimized wheels for freight cars, including heavy haul
- Wheels for track construction and maintenance machines
- Other wheels for rail transport (auxiliary wheels, wheels for rolling highway services, etc.)
