Rodgard Runflat

Rodgard Runflat

Rodgard Runflat – designed for one-piece wheels and made from lightweight, high strength, and engineered polymer consisting of two main components -- a roller and an insert base. The base unit is securely attached to the wheel in the drop center, and provides a track or channel in which the roller is allowed to move or "rotate" about the wheel at the same speed as the tire, thus reducing friction and heat build up. The Rodgard runflat has unique properties that make it resistant to crack propagation and deterioration from ballistic attack or road hazards.

The unique patented design insures vehicle maneuverability and control at high speeds and heavy loads. Rodgard mobility has been proven in over 20 years of service on European police vehicles and government armored limousines.

Special applications such as monorail trains and military combat vehicles also benefit from Rodgard flat tire mobility products.
