Our lastest range of products have been used in the development of a new two seater go-kart which can reach speeds of 80 mph.

Coldene Manufacturing Continues

We have now been manufacturing in the UK for over a year. Making bespoke wheels, castors and polyurethane products. Recently we finished a batch of bespoke Automotive Sprung Loaded Castors.

If you have any requirements for bespoke wheels and castors or polyurethane products please contact the Coldene sales team.

01296 431135    sales@coldene.co.uk    www.coldene.co.uk

Our manufacturing capability is really opening doors for us with some very exciting projects currently in progress.

One such project is the provision of our  Automotive Sprung Loaded Castors which are 100% made in the UK by us.

Our client has an existing application where the castors were failing due to increased load demand. Our UK design engineers redesigned, improved and strengthened the castors while managing to save 15 kg off the unit weight (which was another client requirement).

We are proud that every aspect of this project has been completed by Coldene. This achievement is especially important because it now means  we have the ability to compete with our European rivals.

ISO Container Castors T24

Our heavy duty 24-tonne container castors have undergone a design review after client feedback reported that the old design was heavy and therefore difficult to manoeuvre into position and attach to the ISO container. We have therefore added a jockey wheel and arm to aid the movement and positioning of the castor.. Heavy lugging is now a thing of the past.

Manufacturing Update

Our new polyurethane metering machine arrived 2 months ago and has now been fully commissioned and put into operation.  Production has started on a number of key products including load rollers.

Roll Out The Red Carpet

Coldene’s container castors ‘cast’ in starring role

Coldene has been left star struck after supplying the UK Film industry with several sets of our 12 and 24 ton ISO Container castors. In true acting style, the castors aren’t actually fulfilling their intended purpose; instead their load capacity and high quality design has made them the perfect choice for a bespoke piece of equipment to be used on set.

Knowledge Is Power!

Let Coldene put the power in your hands with our tech training

We’re not claiming to have re-invented the wheel but there’s no doubt that material technology and wheel design is evolving faster than ever.

Coldene’s hygienic load systems are finding their feet

Matt Jones has been out demonstrating our hygienic load range. These appeal to pharmaceutical clients, particularly for use in clean rooms, but also for more standard requirements, especially when Matt shows how bacteria can move up a threaded stem!

HLS: Strong and stable growth

Coldene’s Hygienic Levelling Solutions are (HLS) on the up!

As part of our continued growth plans, we are delighted to announce a new range of Antibacterial plastic-footed load feet. These plastic moulded feet are impregnated with hygienilac, which is added to the mixture prior to moulding, enabling it to actually repel bacteria. Coupled with 304 stainless stem, this product is very hygienic and highly suitable for food production facilities as well as pharmaceutical clean room operations. We plan to offer this product with a hygienic stem in future, making it the ultimate in hygienic plastic-footed load feet.

The holidays are coming!

Coldene helps customers deal with seasonal demand

With Christmas fast approaching we have supplied some major blue-chip companies with products required for their festive operational ramp up. Demand for garment rails meant our client required 10,000 castors within a week. We were happy to help and successfully supplied all products from our UK stock. Our Automotive client needed to ensure his Automated Guided Vehicles would be happy working over the festive
period. In preparation we fitted a number of new tyres through our rebond service. We collected vehicles from site, completed the rebond and delivered them back all within 7 days resulting in a very happy customer.

Be ready for 2019: beat the rush!

Wheels and castor technology is moving faster than you think…

Materials are constantly being improved in order for castors and wheels to take higher loads and to improve their durability. Designs are also becoming more modern. All of these changes mean there is potential for better solutions for both existing and new applications. At Coldene, we can offer 100% design through to complete manufacture of products, in our UK plant. If you’d like to know more, please do ask our technical support team to visit and look at your requirements. You can reach us on 01296 431135 or email sales@coldene.co.uk
