The new UtiliTrak® Vee/Crown (VC) wheel plate from Bishop-Wisecarver Corporation (Pittsburg, CA) simplifies a customer’s ordering process by offering one system that not only works for both vee and open track channels, but also maintains backwards compatibility with existing UtiliTrak installations for easy direct-field replacements and upgrades. This flexibility, combined with the VC wheel plate’s ability to perform in contaminated environments, low rolling friction and high speed capacity, provides the optimal system for aerospace, automotive and other commercial applications.
The wheels of the UtiliTrak VC are compatible with both vee and open track channels to help reduce ordering complexity. The VC wheel plate is also dimensionally interchangeable to enable direct replacements and alternatives for existing UtiliTrak wheel plate installations and ensures that parts and accessories work for both versions (wiper caps, felts, brakes, adjustment wrenches, etc.) The hybrid of the vee and crown wheel design also allows for up to two degrees of misalignment. The VC wheel plate incorporates many of the benefits of DualVee Motion Technology to provide self-cleaning wiping action for use in contaminated environments, as well as smooth and quiet, low friction motion. The wheel plate provides high performance and quality by incorporating proven designs and ensuring the same load capacity and life estimates as existing SW series wheel plates.
“This expansion of our UtiliTrack family underscores our Signature Experience guarantee to provide the right product with the best design for our customers,” said Pamela Kan, the president of Bishop-Wisecarver. “As demonstrated by this new VC wheel plate offering, we are always looking for ways to simplify their lives, provide multiple options for different environments with a low total cost of ownership, and thus provide a superior customer experience from pre-order to post installation.”
