ALBION, MI – April 21, 2025. Caster Concepts, a leader in ergonomic casters for material handling systems, introduces the new Ergo Tread CasterShox™ caster.
Combining the ergonomic push force reduction of an Ergo Tread wheel with the noise-dampening power of CasterShox, this caster addresses challenges faced by plant managers, process engineers, and safety professionals needing a material handling solution that lowers a cart’s push force while lowering noise and vibration levels.
Ergo Tread CasterShox™ can cut push force effort by up to 25% due to its ergonomic tread design while lowering cart noise levels by up to 15 decibels thanks to its shock-absorbing in-hub spring and poly dampening system.
“We designed Ergo Tread CasterShox to address the common challenges faced in manufacturing facilities — excessive push forces and disruptive noise,” notes Doug Backinger, VP of Sales at Caster Concepts. “Combining ergonomic tread technology with shock-absorbing capabilities is a huge step forward in enhancing workplace safety and efficiency.”
Real World Results
In a recent application, a leading automotive manufacturer reduced push forces by 25% and cart noise by 15 dB at the roughest floor surface of the plant after switching to Ergo Tread CasterShox™, significantly improving workplace safety and compliance.
“At Caster Concepts, our commitment to continuous innovation in safety and efficiency is priority one. Ergo Tread CasterShox™ is a testament to that mission, offering an ergonomic solution that reduces strain and noise without sacrificing performance,” said John Moore, Chief Marketing Officer at Caster Concepts.
