      <title>Rotacaster 48mm Assembly Table Drives Dramatic Savings</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Rotacaster 48mm Assembly Table Drives Dramatic Savings</p><p>Tighes Hill, NSW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/19/2012 --  Recently a customer needed a 48mm Assembly Table.  The decision to go with the Rotacaster saved the company more than $20,000.  Manufactured from engineering polymers, the Rotacaster&apos;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. <br />
 <br />
Peter McKinnon, General Manager of Rotacaster, shared a video of the Rotacaster Conveyor Transfer Table with 48mm Rotacaster Omni wheels. <br />
<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoOP7_fwjeE" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoOP7_fwjeE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoOP7_fwjeE</a><br />
<br />
A compact size allows more wheels per m² and minimal spacing between adjacent rollers for:<br />
- Greater load distribution<br />
- Reduced soft surface indentation<br />
- Ability to handle a greater range of surface profiles<br />
 <br />
A tough, robust, injection molded wheel frame combines the wheel body and roller axles in one part for:<br />
- Improved impact resistance<br />
- Higher load capacity<br />
- Reduced risk of downtime due to lost rollers<br />
<br />
A rust-free, full polymer wheel (no steel pins or inserts) makes it ideal for:<br />
- Corrosive environments<br />
- X-ray or scanning applications<br />
 <br />
Other benefits include:<br />
- Simple, fast mounting alternatives<br />
- Lighter and stronger than similar wheels<br />
- Quieter &amp; smoother ride<br />
 <br />
Choice of roller options for:<br />
- Protection of surfaces<br />
- Greater traction for driven applications<br />
- Different climatic environments<br />
 <br />
Rotacaster, while fixed in a primary orientation, facilitates movement in any direction without the need of a traditional swivel mount.  Omni-wheels have been used in conveyor applications for years.<br />
<br />
The benefits of Rotacaster are also significant including 360 degree movement and rotation, greater load stability, and easier directional control and tracking.  Rotacaster allows for greater control on inclines via primary axis tracking as well as precision placement - no offset movement.  Users of Rotacaster enjoy minimal space or housing requirements and non-marking polyurethane rollers.  Unlike many standard caster wheel products, Rotacaster provides a compact, robust, corrosion-resistant full polymer solution with extraordinary functionality.   <br />

      <title>Rotacaster Praised by Variety of Companies for Productivity Improvements</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Tighes Hill, NSW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 06/18/2012 --  Rotacaster omni-directional wheels have been receiving praise from a wide variety of company leaders because of the superior load stability, as well as the robust, durable and corrosion resistant construction.<br />
<br />
According to Peter McKinnon, managing director of Rotacaster, "Patented Rotacaster omni directional floor wheels combine 360° movement with fixed orientation…it is the only real alternative to the swivel castor. We are thrilled so many firms have found the unique omni wheel to be helpful in productivity and safety."<br />
<br />
"Rotacaster multi-directional wheels fitted to upright trolleys, dollies and bin trolleys have improved our company manual handling health and safety record," noted Byron Stott, Manager of Andrew Mathers Removals.<br />
<br />
 Martyn Lani, Owner of Lakeside Tavern Bottle Shop commented, "If I had to describe the hand truck in one word it would be &apos;easy&apos;...It&apos;s effortless to operate. I&apos;ll never go back to using anything else."<br />
<br />
"Where other castors froze and were difficult to control, (Rotacaster) omni-wheels are able to cope with the environment without difficulty," suggested David Rose, Director of Exquisine.<br />
<br />
Andrew Parker a Manager at the Gloucester Bowling &amp; Recreation Club said, "The Rotatruck Self Supporting Hand Trolley cuts the work time in half because it is so simple to use. And best of all it will reduce staff injury due to back strain. Best purchase of the year, I would recommend it to everyone"<br />
<br />
Because each Rotacaster omni-directional wheel acts independently, multiple wheels and layouts can provide extra maneuverability and be customized to meet specific load weight and distribution requirements.  Wheels can be purchased independently so customers can add their own mount or purchase a Rotacaster wheel and mount combined. <br />
<br />
Rotacaster, while fixed in a primary orientation, facilitates movement in any direction without the need of a traditional swivel mount. Omni wheels have been used in conveyor and light-duty robotics applications for years, yet the Rotacaster multi-directional wheel is engineered to provide additional robustness, durability, and ride quality necessary as an industrial floor wheel.<br />
<br />
Applications for the Rotacaster range from material handling equipment (hand trucks, trolleys, dollies, carts, skates) to shopping carts and luggage; from conveyor transfers, pipe rollers, and other inverted applications to robotics and patient lifts in medical settings.<br />
<br />
McKinnon shared the company mission, noting, "At Rotacaster Wheel Limited, we truly believe our unique products have the potential to revolutionize workplaces by offering real equipment solutions that create a safer working environment. With core values such as safety, quality and innovation, our award winning company strives to design ergonomic products that are practical and that will reduce overall costs by reducing workplace injury and increasing productivity."<br />

<br />
Recently a leading amusement park faced a problem. Deploying umbrellas within the park the company used a dolly to transport the six umbrellas and stands used two rigid and two swivel casters. The swivel casters would get stuck on railroad tracks and other irregular surfaces within the park as the load was not balanced. With a load weighing close to 500 lbs., it was difficult for one person to move the umbrellas where needed. Building a dolly with more swivel casters was explored, but was still very difficult to move as all the swivel casters were not going in the same direction. <br />
<br />
The solution was the multi-directional Rotacaster. The amusement park designed and had built a dolly employing the Rotacaster multi-directional wheel.  The design used eight Rotacasters so that the dolly would not tilt and get stuck on railroad tracks or driveways. <br />
<br />
Fabricated from aluminum extrusion and assembled with Fath hardware, the dolly has four Rotacasters in the center of the platform mounted slightly lower, less that 1/16", than the Rotacaster in the corners. This design provides great maneuverability since the dolly rotates on center. <br />
 <br />
The Rotacaster solution is easily maneuvered around the park without getting stuck on the obstacles the former swivel caster dolly.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Peter McKinnon<br />Rotacaster Wheel<br />Telephone: +61 2 4907 8100<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/contact/142654">Click to Email Peter McKinnon</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rotacaster.com.au">http://www.rotacaster.com.au</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=142654&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <title>Rotacaster Provides Multi-Directional Omni Wheel Solution for Cosmetic Manufacturer</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Tighes Hill, NSW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/27/2012 --  According to Peter McKinnon, managing director for Rotacaster, "This innovative design can overcome issues associated with trying to move and handle materials.

<br />
Recently a leading cosmetics manufacturer faced a problem. The company was using a six caster picking cart; four swivel caster on the corners with two rigid casters in the center. The rigid caster improved tracking and control when moving long distances and turning, however it limited maneuverability it tight spaces. Additionally, the rigid wheel was damaged when the cart was pushed sideways, floors were also damaged.<br />
<br />
The solution was the multi-directional Rotacaster.  These unique omni wheels were placed in a compatible caster rig and installed on one picking cart. The R-3125 triple Rotacaster rolling as a 125mm wheel proved the same tracking control as the rigid caster for long runs and the cart maneuverability was significantly enhanced. Most importantly the picking cart could very easily be moved directly sideways. <br />
<br />
The specific problem of wheel and floor damage was eliminated and over handling of the picking cart was improved with the R-3125 Rotacaster installed over a fixed wheel. The customer installed Rotacasters on sixty-five picking carts used in the distribution center.<br />

      <title>Rotacaster Demonstrates One Person Moving One Ton Easily</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Tighes Hill, NSW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/25/2012 --  One person moving one ton easily sounds like an exaggeration.  Rotacaster proves this can be done easily. Peter McKinnon, General Manager of Rotacaster, shared a video demonstrating how one person whether in a warehouse, distribution center, or delivery process can move one ton quite easily and safely. <br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKjQ9aaXwpg&amp;list=UUchUlTBcNqYc7kCyboBef3Q&amp;index=19&amp;feature=plcp" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKjQ9aaXwpg&amp;list=UUchUlTBcNqYc7kCyboBef3Q&amp;index=19&amp;feature=plcp">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKjQ9aaXwpg&amp;list=UUchUlTBcNqYc7kCyboBef3Q&amp;index=19&amp;feature=plcp</a><br />
<br />
Manufactured from engineering polymers, the Rotacaster&apos;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.  <br />
  <br />
A compact size allows more wheels per m² and minimal spacing between adjacent rollers for:<br />
- Greater load distribution<br />
- Reduced soft surface indentation<br />
- Ability to handle a greater range of surface profiles<br />
 <br />
A tough, robust, injection molded wheel frame combines the wheel body and roller axles in one part for:<br />
- Improved impact resistance<br />
- Higher load capacity<br />
-  Reduced risk of downtime due to lost rollers<br />
<br />
A rust-free, full polymer wheel (no steel pins or inserts) makes it ideal for:<br />
- Corrosive environments<br />
- X-ray or scanning applications<br />
 <br />
Other benefits include:<br />
- Simple, fast mounting alternatives<br />
- Lighter and stronger than similar wheels<br />
- Quieter &amp; smoother ride<br />
 <br />
Choice of roller options for:<br />
- Protection of surfaces<br />
- Greater traction for driven applications<br />
- Different climatic environments<br />
 <br />
The benefits of Rotacaster are also significant including 360 degree movement and rotation, greater load stability, and easier directional control and tracking. Rotacaster allows for greater control on inclines via primary axis tracking as well as precision placement - no offset movement. Users of Rotacaster enjoy minimal space or housing requirements and non-marking polyurethane rollers.  Unlike many standard caster wheel products, Rotacaster provides a compact, robust, corrosion-resistant full polymer solution with extraordinary functionality.   <br />

      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Safety Managers Requesting Magliner Hand Trucks with Rotacaster Conversion Kits</p><p>Tighes Hill, NSW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/13/2012 --  The most important message safety managers are sharing 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.<br />
<br />
Magliner is a great complement to the Rotacaster multi-directional wheel. Rotacaster has unique conversion kits for Magliner hand trucks that improve ergonomics and productivity.<br />
<br />
Rotacaster makes manual movement of loads safer, faster and easier.  The ergonomic benefits of a lightweight aluminum hand truck equipped with Rotacaster self-supporting and stair climber conversions is quickly gaining attention of many corporate safety managers. An ergonomic study, available from Rotacaster, documenting significantly reduced muscular effort and lower back flexion is of great interest. The combination of light-weight, easy to use and safe Magliners is proving the best option.<br />
<br />
According to Peter McKinnon, managing director for Rotacaster, "This innovative design can overcome issues associated with trying to move and handle materials. Also available in an outdoor, all-terrain model, it reduces the effort of manual handling and repetitive movement that can lead to workplace injury.  A conversion kit is available for operations that want to retrofit traditional hand trucks."<br />
<br />
The benefits of Rotacaster are also significant including 360 degree movement and rotation, greater load stability, and easier directional control and tracking. Rotacaster allows for greater control on inclines via primary axis tracking as well as precision placement - no offset movement. Users of Rotacaster enjoy minimal space or housing requirements and non-marking polyurethane rollers. Unlike many standard caster wheel products, Rotacaster provides a compact, robust, corrosion-resistant full polymer solution with extraordinary functionality.  Each wheel acts independently and is not limited to a four point wheel configuration; allowing for numerous combinations to achieve load sharing and required maneuverability.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Peter McKinnon<br />Managing Director<br />Rotacaster Wheel<br />Telephone: +61 2 4907 8100<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/contact/140293">Click to Email Peter McKinnon</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rotacaster.com.au">http://www.rotacaster.com.au</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=140293&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <title>Rotacaster Provides Multi-Directional Omni Wheel Solution for Amusement Park With Irregular Surfaces</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Rotacaster Provides Multi-Directional Omni Wheel Solution for Amusement Park with Irregular Surfaces</p><p>Tighes Hill, NSW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/09/2012 --  According to Peter McKinnon, managing director for Rotacaster, "This innovative design can overcome issues associated with trying to move and handle materials. 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."<br />
<br />
Recently a leading amusement park faced a problem. Deploying umbrellas within the park the company used a dolly to transport the six umbrellas and stands used two rigid and two swivel casters. The swivel casters would get stuck on railroad tracks and other irregular surfaces within the park as the load was not balanced. With a load weighing close to 500 lbs., it was difficult for one person to move the umbrellas where needed. Building a dolly with more swivel casters was explored, but was still very difficult to move as all the swivel casters were not going in the same direction. <br />
<br />
The solution was the multi-directional Rotacaster. The amusement park designed and had built a dolly employing the Rotacaster multi-directional wheel. The design used eight Rotacasters so that the dolly would not tilt and get stuck on railroad tracks or driveways. Fabricated from aluminum extrusion and assembled with Fath hardware, the dolly has four Rotacasters in the center of the platform mounted slightly lower, less that 1/16", than the Rotacaster in the corners. This design provides great maneuverability since the dolly rotates on center.  <br />
<br />
The Rotacaster solution is easily maneuvered around the park without getting stuck on the obstacles the former swivel caster dolly. Applications for the Rotacaster range from material handling equipment (hand trucks, trolleys, dollies, carts, skates) to shopping carts and luggage; from conveyor transfers, pipe rollers, and other inverted applications to robotics and patient lifts in medical settings.<br />

      <title>Rotacaster Picking Cart Solves Major Problem for Cosmetic Manufacturer</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Tighes Hill, NSW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/04/2012 --  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.<br />
<br />
Recently a leading cosmetics manufacturer faced a problem. The company was using a six caster picking cart; four swivel caster on the corners with two rigid casters in the center. The rigid caster improved tracking and control when moving long distances and turning, however it limited maneuverability it tight spaces. Additionally, the rigid wheel was damaged when the cart was pushed sideways, floors were also damaged.<br />
<br />
The solution was the multi-directional Rotacaster.  These unique omni wheels were placed in a compatible caster rig and installed on one picking cart. The R-3125 triple Rotacaster rolling as a 125mm wheel proved the same tracking control as the rigid caster for long runs and the cart maneuverability was significantly enhanced. Most importantly the picking cart could very easily be moved directly sideways. <br />
<br />
The specific problem of wheel and floor damage was eliminated and over handling of the picking cart was improved with the R-3125 Rotacaster installed over a fixed wheel. The customer installed Rotacasters on sixty-five picking carts used in the distribution center.<br />
<br />
According to Peter McKinnon, managing director for Rotacaster, "This innovative design can overcome issues associated with trying to move and handle materials. Also available in an outdoor, all-terrain model, it reduces the effort of manual handling and repetitive movement that can lead to workplace injury."<br />

      <title>Magliner Hand Trucks Available With Rotacaster Conversion Kits</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Tighes Hill, NSW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/29/2012 --  Magliner is a great complement to the Rotacaster multi-directional wheel. Rotacaster has unique conversion kits for Magliner hand trucks that improve ergonomics and productivity.<br />
<br />
Rotacaster makes manual movement of loads safer, faster and easier.  The ergonomic benefits of a lightweight aluminum hand truck equipped with Rotacaster self-supporting and stair climber conversions is quickly gaining attention of many corporate safety managers. An ergonomic study, available from Rotacaster, documenting significantly reduced muscular effort and lower back flexion is of great interest. The combination of light-weight, easy to use and safe Magliners is proving the best option.<br />
<br />
The most important message safety managers are sharing 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.<br />
<br />
According to Peter McKinnon, managing director for Rotacaster, "This innovative design can overcome issues associated with trying to move and handle materials. Also available in an outdoor, all-terrain model, it reduces the effort of manual handling and repetitive movement that can lead to workplace injury.  A conversion kit is available for operations that want to retrofit traditional hand trucks."<br />
<br />
The benefits of Rotacaster are also significant including 360 degree movement and rotation, greater load stability, and easier directional control and tracking.  Rotacaster allows for greater control on inclines via primary axis tracking as well as precision placement - no offset movement.  Users of Rotacaster enjoy minimal space or housing requirements and non-marking polyurethane rollers.  Unlike many standard caster wheel products, Rotacaster provides a compact, robust, corrosion-resistant full polymer solution with extraordinary functionality.   Each wheel acts independently and is not limited to a four point wheel configuration; allowing for numerous combinations to achieve load sharing and required maneuverability. <br />

      <title>125mm Rotacaster Omni Wheels Previewed in Video</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">125mm Rotacaster Omni wheels Previewed in Video</p><p>Tighes Hill, NSW -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/25/2012 --  Manufactured from engineering polymers, the Rotacaster&apos;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. <br />
 <br />
Peter McKinnon, General Manager of Rotacaster, has developed different omni wheels to meet customer demand.  Here is a video that shares the 125mm Rotacaster Omni wheel. <br />
<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN3EQy_XIcE" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN3EQy_XIcE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN3EQy_XIcE</a><br />
<br />
A tough, robust, injection molded wheel frame combines the wheel body and roller axles in one part for:<br />
- Improved impact resistance<br />
- Higher load capacity<br />
- Reduced risk of downtime due to lost rollers<br />
<br />
A rust-free, full polymer wheel (no steel pins or inserts) makes it ideal for:<br />
- Corrosive environments<br />
- X-ray or scanning applications<br />
<br />
Choice of roller options for:<br />
- protection of surfaces<br />
- greater traction for driven applications<br />
- different climatic environments<br />
<br />
Rotacaster, while fixed in a primary orientation, facilitates movement in any direction without the need of a traditional swivel mount. Omni-wheels have been used in conveyor applications for years.<br />
<br />
The benefits of Rotacaster are also significant including 360 degree movement and rotation, greater load stability, and easier directional control and tracking. Rotacaster allows for greater control on inclines via primary axis tracking as well as precision placement - no offset movement. Users of Rotacaster enjoy minimal space or housing requirements and non-marking polyurethane rollers. Unlike many standard caster wheel products, Rotacaster provides a compact, robust, corrosion-resistant full polymer solution with extraordinary functionality.  <br />
