Explore our dynamic range of customized forged alloy wheels, industrial split wheels, carbon fiber hybrid assemblies, and heavy machinery wheel components.
In high-stress industrial transport, modern warehousing, and elite motorsports, the term "folding wheels" and "split rims" represents structural flexibility, weight-to-strength optimization, and high-efficiency maintenance capabilities. Unlike standard mono-block castings, multi-piece split and folding wheels allow operators to decouple key structural components, such as the wheel disk, lock ring, flange, and rim base. This engineering approach is critical for industrial heavy-lifters like forklifts, reach stackers, and performance vehicles that demand extreme lateral load retention under dynamic pressure shifts.
As a pioneering force in global wheel logistics, Zhengzhou Jersey Auto Co., Ltd. develops structural components designed to withstand severe shear stress. Whether engineered with split-flange geometry for heavy material-handling machinery (such as our 4.33r-8 forklift rims) or structural two-piece carbon-fiber barrels mated to forged 6061-T6 aluminum centers, our solutions minimize hub-assembly failure rates while ensuring uniform radial deformation behavior under heavy payloads.
Split wheel mechanics provide a two-piece bolt-together structure. This facilitates fast inner-tube servicing and tire replacements without the need for heavy shop tire presses, crucial for forklift fleets.
Designed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure uniform load stress distribution across high-tensile fasteners, eliminating local structural fatigue under high payloads.
Made from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, flow-formed alloys, or high-tensile structural steel, minimizing rotational mass and lowering energy consumption in pure-electric vehicles.
Established in 2003, Zhengzhou Jersey Auto Co., Ltd. has spent over two decades developing high-performance wheel solutions for industrial and commercial machinery. We supply truck wheels, specialty forklift split wheels, beadlock off-road systems, and carbon-fiber hybrid alloy rims. Headquartered in a state-of-the-art 40,000-square-meter production facility, our manufacturing lines integrate automated metal casting, robotized smelting, CNC lathe machining, and structural balancing.
Our engineering framework relies on extensive intellectual property, supported by 20 proprietary design and utility patents. These innovations focus on improving lock-ring safety and minimizing the weight of high-load wheel rims. To support globally distributed operations, we maintain compliance certifications with international standards:
To guarantee zero-defect shipments, each wheel manufactured at our plant passes through a controlled, step-by-step production process. We combine advanced metallurgy with computer-controlled testing equipment.
Using premium steel alloys, aluminum A356.2, and forged 6061-T6 blocks. Spectrochemical analysis verifies elemental composition before smelting.
Every casting rim undergoes non-destructive X-ray inspection to detect internal gas cavities, micro-porosity, and metallurgical voids.
Multi-stage electrodeposition coating (e-coat) followed by electrostatic powder topcoat ensures high resistance against corrosion and salt spray.
As a supplier to major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket distributors, Zhengzhou Jersey Auto Co., Ltd. maintains a diversified export framework. Our logistics network ensures safe, timely deliveries to distribution centers worldwide, supported by customized documentation and customs compliance management.

Our global footprint is built on our supply chain efficiency. By working directly with raw material producers in close proximity to our production plant, we control costs while protecting clients from raw material market fluctuations.
Wheels are safety-critical elements subjected to dynamic stresses. We design and deliver custom wheel structures optimized for diverse field applications.
High-mileage transport requires lightweight hubs to optimize fuel economy. Our forged magnesium-aluminum alloys reduce wheel weight by 35% compared to traditional steel, lowering fuel consumption and operating costs.
Forklifts rely on split-rim designs to support high-pressure pneumatic and solid tires. Our split steel rims (such as 3.75-8 and 4.33r-8) allow for easy installation, keeping material handling equipment running efficiently.
For custom cars and high-performance racing, our 2-piece carbon-fiber barrel wheels with forged centers offer high stiffness-to-weight ratios, reducing rotational inertia for faster acceleration and cornering response.
The wheel manufacturing industry is undergoing a transition driven by carbon reduction targets and new vehicle technology. As an industry leader, Zhengzhou Jersey Auto Co., Ltd. focuses on these key market developments:
Electric vehicles place higher demands on wheel structures due to their heavy battery packs and high instant torque. Our lightweight forged magnesium wheels provide the required strength while helping to extend vehicle range.
Carbon-fiber barrel integration represents a major shift in performance wheel design. Bonding aerospace-grade carbon fiber to forged centers reduces unsprung weight while managing vibrations.
For off-road and defense vehicles, beadlock wheels physically clamp the tire bead to the wheel. This allows vehicles to run at low tire pressures for increased traction without tire bead slip.
Sustainable manufacturing is a core priority. We use recycled scrap aluminum in our smelting processes and run energy-efficient closed-loop water cooling systems to reduce our carbon footprint.
Read through detailed technical answers regarding the engineering, safety, and supply of our custom wheel solutions.
A split forklift rim consists of a two-piece design bolted together. This allows maintenance technicians to disassemble the wheel directly to service the inner tube or replace pneumatic tires. Standard single-piece rims require heavy hydraulic press machinery to slide the tire over the bead seat, which is less practical for on-site industrial servicing.
Forged wheels start as solid metal billets that are subjected to high pressure, which refines the grain structure of the metal. This alignment yields higher tensile strength and structural integrity compared to cast wheels, which can contain tiny internal air pockets. Forging allows us to use less material for the same load rating, reducing overall wheel weight.
Beadlock wheels use a mechanical ring system that bolts down to lock the outer tire bead to the wheel. This prevents tire slip or detaching from the rim when operating at very low air pressures (e.g., under 15 PSI) in challenging off-road conditions like sand, mud, or rock climbing.
We maintain strict quality control throughout our manufacturing line. Every batch of raw materials is verified by spectral analysis. During production, we conduct automated non-destructive testing (NDT), including X-ray inspections, helium leak testing for tubeless wheels, and dynamic balancing evaluations, tracking each unit back to its production run.
Yes. Our 2-piece carbon-fiber barrels use high-Tg epoxy resin systems capable of withstanding the heat generated by performance braking. The composite structure is isolated from direct metallic heat transfer, protecting it from thermal fatigue during track use.
