Overview
Crane wheels, forged to finish under one group
Vikrant Forge Pvt. Ltd. (est. 1985) makes forged and machined crane wheels at its integrated plant near Kolkata, India. We have forged in-house since 1992, machined since 1994 and heat-treated since 1997, so one team owns the wheel from ingot to inspection. We supply single wheels, wheels with shafts, geared drive wheel assemblies and complete wheel-axle assemblies. Half of our revenue comes from exports to OEMs in more than 15 countries.

How we make them
From melt to dispatch
- 01
Electric arc furnaceSister mill
Eccentric bottom tapping gives cleaner steel with less slag from the first melt.
- 02
Ladle refining
Chemistry and temperature are controlled before casting.
- 03
Vacuum degassing
The melt is held under 1 Torr vacuum to remove dissolved gases.
- 04
Bottom-poured ingots
An ingot casting car pours with little turbulence for clean steel.
- 05
Forging
Manipulator-handled billets are shaped into open-die forgings.
- 06
Heat treatment
Controlled furnace cycles set the grain structure and mechanical properties.
- 07
Finish machining
CNC machining to the drawing's final dimensions.
- 08
Quality assurance
Inspection at every stage, with CMM and our NABL-accredited lab.
- 09
Dispatch
Packed and shipped to customers in India and abroad.
