How does the Wanzl SoftDrive wheel work?
The innovation: The elastomer element works as suspension on bumpy surfaces. Vibration is absorbed and its transmission to the framework is reduced considerably. The result is a very low noise generation level of the trolley when it is in use. International patent application WO 02/092362
