Driving Savings, Safety, and Efficiency in Automotive Assembly.
Innovative Solutions to Eliminate These Common Problems.
Balloon tread wheels failing under pressure from high speeds.
Low quality casters that fail and cause costly damage your floors.
Time wasted waiting on tuggers and other workers to move a cart.
Make moving heavy carts a safe, one person operation.
Problem: Wheels fail under higher towing speeds and abuse, causing frequent replacements.
Hysteresis (heat) builds up at higher speeds, causing a caster wheel’s polyurethane to tear off the metal core.
Solution:
- ERGOXCEL™ casters with sealed, maintenance-free swivel bearings.
- Exceptional maneuverability and durability.
- Extended savings with less caster replacement.
- Reduced maintenance and costs.
- Read more about common types of wheel failure.
Problem: Low-quality caster wheel failure, causing frequent replacement and extensive damage to floors.
Low-quality wheels are prone to break under heavy loads and need constant replacement. These caster failures also cause expensive damage to floors.
Solution:
- 5,000 lb. capacity Heavy Duty Caster designed for difficult and abusive industrial applications.
- Reinforced legs provide additional strength when side loading.
- Tear-resistant poly wheels for higher strength and extended wear.
- Real-World Application: 77 Series Casters Reduce Caster Failure and Downtime On Indoor-Outdoor Paint Skid.
Problem: Heavy battery carts requiring more than one person to move are still being moved by only one person.
EV battery carts are heavy and difficult to move. Innovative ergonomic casters allow them to be moved with one person, removing safety, time, and production restraints.
Solution:
- TWERGO® XTREME Casters feature a dumbbell configuration to distribute weight evenly and carry heavier loads.
- Same great TWERGO benefits of minimizing friction and scrubbing with higher weight capacities (3,500 lbs. Per caster).
- Allows a single operator to safely move a heavier load that they couldn’t before.
