The invention relates to a wheel system having a running wheel and a support body which at least partially surrounds the running wheel and in which the running wheel is mounted and from which the running wheel projects in order to come into contact with a rail. In order to allow predictive maintenance of the wheel system with a low inspection effort, it is proposed that a mechanical device for detecting and/or determining wear on the running wheel is mounted on the support body.

Wheel system, in particular for a crane

An arrangement with an end carriage, a plate, and a wheel block which is detachably fastened to the end carriage and comprises a housing and a wheel that is mounted in the housing and projects out of the housing, wherein the plate is located between the end carriage and the wheel block and is fixedly connected to the end carriage and has a base surface directed towards the housing, and wherein the housing has a groove which receives the plate and which has a bottom surface, directed towards the base surface, and side walls delimiting the groove, wherein the wheel block is aligned relative to the end carriage by means of an interlocking connection between the wheel block and the plate.
