Summary:PURPOSE:To reduce slip of a truck wheel which rolls on a circular track, on the rail thereof by splitting the wheel in the width direction thereof into a plurality of parts so that the parts may turn independently in close contact with each other. CONSTITUTION:A wheel 2 is splitted into three parts in the direction of the width thereof as that the individual parts turn independently in close contact with each other. When the wheel 2 rolls on the circular track, the internal and external parts with respect to a rail run at different speeds, however, since the wheel 2 is divided into three parts, they roll independently, thereby reducing the slip ratio to one third of the conventional ratio. The number of the parts is inversely proportional to the slippage so that the more the number thereof is increased, the more the slippage can be reduced.
