Camera Tractor Wheel

Cua Claws crawler wheels

Crawler wheels from Cua Claws can help improve footage in wet, slippery PVC or other plastic pipe. The wheels have a tungsten carbide furnace brazed to the wheel. An extended range of modes is available that can be retrofitted to the customer’s crawler. The company also offers a service to apply its carbide to crawler wheels. Some wheels are stainless steel and cannot be processed so Cua Claws has a line of replacement wheels of exact fit in mild steel so the grit can be applied. This way the customer can harvest the savings to re-grit instead of replacing the wheels when necessary. 714-697-8697; www.cuaclaws.com
