Ground rollers and rollers

Most of the rollers in a bank are wheels, obviously small, made of plastic or nylon material but in the shape of a wheel. The most common are mounted on the connecting pins of the swing cylinders, at the point of union with the platform. There are therefore one on the right and one on the left. They serve as the first point of support when the platform touches the ground, and thus prevent other structural metal parts, other than the tip of the platform, from touching or rubbing directly on the asphalt. When loading and unloading goods, there are inevitably vibrations or movements that are therefore absorbed and managed by the wheels with the result that the asphalt and not even the components of the tail lift are damaged. Other rollers may be located somewhere else, such as in some of the retractable platforms that fold in on themselves. In this case, they guarantee oscillating support points, which during all the support and handling phases preserve the aluminium from breakage, depression or incision.
