About the UtiliTrak VC Wheel Plate
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 Bishop-Wisecarver's 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.
