Griffin
Heat Treated, Curved Plate Wheels
All the firsts that apply
to freight car wheels also apply to our diesel wheel. Our quality
control gives you the confidence that you've come to expect
from Griffin.
MULTIPLE PLANT LOCATIONS
Griffin has been in full production of diesel wheels since 1966.
We are manufacturing diesel wheels at our centrally located
Keokuk, Iowa plant. This means quick delivery anywhere in North
America.
 BETTER WHEEL BALANCE
Using our proven design, we produce diesel wheels cast to such
close tolerances that they are better balanced than most steel
wheels, as verified by an independent Chicago testing firm.
Such balance contributes to maximum traction, smooth ride,
and longer wheel life.
SAFER DESIGN
The parabolic sweeping fillets that connect both sies of the
diesel wheel plate to the rim result in lower stresses. This
gives you a safer wheel with more resistance to failure.
WITNESS GROOVES FOR ACCURATE TRUEING
All Griffin diesel wheels have witness grooves so the recontouring
operation will better produce matched tapes throughout the
locomotive.
