Rotacaster makes manual movement of loads safer, faster and easier. The most important message communicated by safety managers is the concern and need for workplace ergonomic improvements whenever and wherever possible. Especially when workers compensation, lost work days and insurance premiums can be reduced while improving productivity.

Manufactured from engineering polymers, the Rotacaster’s injection-molded, weblike structure and over-molded rollers, ensure a durable and robust wheel with no pins, inserts or seams, making it ideal for tough environments. The fixed orientation of the wheel facilitates both simple and stable mounting alternatives that improve load stability and are less prone to impact damage.

For 20 years, we, ITO Germany, focus our attention on tracked dumpers. Used dumpers on tracks respectively crawler carriers are rare on the western market. Their excellent load along with the low ground pressure by the crawler tracks make crawler transporters popular machines on difficult ground conditions such as sludge, gravel or steep slopes. Where a conventional tipper remains stuck necessarily , the tracked dumpers drive through smoothly loading up to 15 000 kilograms due to the large load distribution.

For a century the basic caster wheel has changed little and no company or brand has claimed the caster nomenclature, until now. The omniwheel is the generic name; Rotacaster is the brand.

Thomas R. Cutler, leading manufacturing journalist, recently authored a feature about the role of logistics and hand truck efficiency in the current issue of Automation.com. According to Cutler, the North American distribution and logistics industry is valued at more than $300 billion and will experience even more growth in 2012. The value chain for the production, distribution, and sale of food, beverage and other merchandise indicate that production and warehouse facilities still handle products in bulk on pallets; pallets are moved using forklifts and pallet jacks.

While retail storefront employee occasionally use hand trucks to move merchandise in the backroom or on the sales floor, these hand trucks are not used frequently and employees do not consider the hand trucks to be a primary tool in their work.

The Rotacaster wheel combines the freedom of 360 degree movement with the stability of a fixed mounting, achieved through a patented design and monolithic, web-like construction which uses rollers rather than a swivel mount. Sold throughout Australia and exported around the world, the Rotacaster is used as a floor wheel, a conveyor wheel and in applications such as hand carts and trolleys, material handling equipment, robotics, mobile furniture, pipe rollers and as an alternative to ball transfer units.

Thomas R. Cutler, leading manufacturing journalist, recently authored a feature for the International Food Safety and Quality Network, titled, “A Whole New Wheel: Food Safety Implications.” Cutler concludes emphatically there are new and different wheels that caused a careful examination of this assertion.

An ergonomically friendly work environment requires noise reduction. RTH wheels are a special proprietary high temperature aerospace rubber compound that cushions the loaded racks from vibration, reduce floor noise, and can be equipped with special noise eliminating bearings. The RTH wheels and the stainless steel casters available from Magnus Mobility are FDA/USDA approved for contact with food ingredients and are permanently lubricated with FDA approved, non-toxic lubricants.

Antron Engineering & Machine recently added a 3-jaw chuck rotary attachment to their laser system. This gives the company more capabilities with laser engraving as they help clients by engineering and manufacturing parts that need marking and identification.

The ergonomic benefits of a lightweight aluminum hand truck equipped with Rotacaster self-supporting and stair climber conversions captured the attention of many corporate safety managers. An ergonomic study, available from Magnus, documenting significantly reduced muscular effort and lower back flexion was of great interest.

Traditional wheels do not work in hi-temp situations. Traditional hi-temp phenolic wheels survive about 350-400°F intermittent temperatures (30 mins in/30 mins cool-off). The traditional wheels are hard and noisy when rolling on floors. The wheels run directly on the caster axle without lubricant; they squeak when in higher temperatures.
