Rotacasters Provide Key Improvements to Swivel Caster

New South Wales, Australia -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/06/2012 -- Rotacaster Wheel Limited provides different wheel diameters provide the choices needed to handle light, sensitive, unstructured or heavy duty industrial level loads. The Rotacaster was developed to improve on the swivel caster wheel and it does so in a number of ways. The key improvements are:

- The ability to move loads in any direction while in a stable fixed mount. This delivers significantly improved load stability by eliminating caster induced shift in the center of gravity when changing directions. This is particularly critical for tall and or stacked loads.
- A precise response to steering input by eliminating caster lag during directional change.
- Directional stability on inclined surfaces. The stable fixed mount eliminates the 'runaway shopping cart' syndrome, significantly reducing the force required to move perpendicular to the incline.
- Bottom line, the ROTACASTER offers a significantly improved floor wheel performance compared to the traditional swivel caster.

Built to provide the robustness and ride quality of an industrial floor wheel, the Rotacaster's patented full polymer construction and 360o maneuverability has brought a new level of performance to conveyor transfer and inverted multi-directional motion applications.

Simple mounting options and a range of hubs make them easy to adapt to existing systems, both passive and driven. Rotacaster's injection molded cup mounts provide the perfect alternative to a ball transfer unit.

Rotacaster Solutions Profiled in Supply Chain Review for Australian Company

New South Wales, Australia -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/05/2012 -- Australia Post and Rotacaster collaborated on the design and construction of the transfer table, with trials successfully undertaken at Australia Post's Gateway facility in Melbourne. "The smaller diameter of Rotocaster's rollers provides support for the soft packaging, while minimizing friction and reducing the number of wheels required," says Rotacaster CEO Peter McKinnon.

Supply Chain Review profiles Rotacaster in the November 13, 2013 issue. According to the article, "Precision engineered rollers have enabled a safer and more efficient sorting solution for Australia Post." They go on to say "Multi-directional roller wheel manufacturer Rotacaster Wheel has delivered a manual transfer solution for an Australia Post facility.

Australia Post used ball transfer tables for manual sorting of bulky international mailbags weighing up to 35 kg. This required substantial and repetitive manual effort by operators to push, pull and rotate the bags, exposing them to potential musculoskeletal injury." To address the challenge, the mail company looked for alternative solutions, assuming the targeted push-pull force of 5kg for a 35Kg bag would in all likelihood require a powered solution.

However, Rotocaster's roller solution, utilizing 48mm Rotacasters combined with polyacetal (POM) spacer rollers, resulted in a significant reduction of push-pull forces to between 4-7 kg in all directions on the table.

360 degree maneuverability is achieved with Rotacaster's direct lateral and rotational movement. 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.

Rotacaster, while fixed in a primary orientation, facilitates movement in any direction without the need of a traditional swivel mount.

Rotacaster Creates Manual Transfer Stations for Australia Post

Tighes Hill, NSW -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2012 -- Australia Post had a problem. They used ball transfer tables for manual sorting of bulky international mailbags weighing up to 35 kg. This required substantial and repetitive manual effort by operators to push, pull and rotate the bags, exposing them to potential musculoskeletal injury. To address this issue Australia Post looked for alternative solutions that would substantially reduce operator input and exposure to risk of injury. With a targeted push/pull force (5kg) for a 35Kg bag, it was acknowledged that this target would in all likelihood require a powered solution, adding to operating and maintenance costs.

Rotacaster proposed a manual transfer solution utilizing their 48mm Rotacasters combined with polyacetal (POM) spacer rollers. The roller's smaller diameter was designed to provide support for the soft packaging, while minimizing friction and reducing the number of Rotacaster wheels required. Australia Post and Rotacaster collaborated on the design and construction of the transfer table. Trials were successfully undertaken at an Australia Post gateway.

The solution resulted in a significant reduction of push/pull forces to between 40 and 70N (4-7kg) in all directions on the table. Australia Post considered this a remarkable achievement in the absence of any powered assist.

In addition to reducing the push/pull forces required, without the cost noise and maintenance associated with a powered solution, the polymer surfaces of the Rotacasters and spacer rollers have demonstrated a lower affinity to adhesion of labels and stickers from packages, further reducing down time and maintenance costs.

Rotacaster CEO Peter McKinnon noted, "Feedback from operators using the table has been exceptionally positive. And importantly, the risk of injury has been reduced. Rotacasters are proving their versatility."

With this extremely successful trial result, the remaining transfer tables at this Gateway facility will be replaced with the Rotacaster solution, with further upgrades to follow in Sydney, Brisbane and elsewhere.

360 degree maneuverability is achieved with Rotacaster's direct lateral and rotational movement. 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.

2013 Hand Truck Delivery Predictions Suggested by Rotacaster

TIGHES Hill, NSW -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2012 -- Rotacaster Wheel Limited is an Australian company with a focus on innovative product design. Rotacaster is a patented multi-directional wheel quickly becoming the alternative to the swivel caster. The Rotacaster is a sturdy, robust wheel, adaptable to a vast array of applications and it overcomes many of the limitations associated with the traditional swivel caster wheel.

360 degree maneuverability is achieved with Rotacaster's direct lateral and rotational movement. 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.

Rotacaster's Managing Director Peter McKinnon recently predicted the top hand truck delivery trend for 2013. McKinnon noted, "As parcel size breaks down as goods get closer to their final point of dispatch…store or end customer, it is hard to avoid the need to manually move goods that last thirty meters or so which often involves differing terrain and obstacles such as curbs. Traditional 2 wheel hand trucks have provided pretty much the only effective tool for this. However they still require a substantial effort and input from the operator and pose risks to both operator and load at times. Essentially they still do the same thing in the same way as they have done for centuries. There have been attempts to overcome this with convertible hand trucks and trailing rear wheel swivel caster models but with limited success as the efficacy of the solution is compromised with either inability to negotiate obstacles or loss of maneuverability. The Rotatruck is the first innovation in this area to provide both a safer and more productive alternative. We see explosive growth in the use of the Rotatruck."

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.

Transfer Tables by Rotacaster Best for Prefab Concrete Company

Tighes Hill, NSW -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/22/2012 -- Rotacaster Wheel Limited is an Australian company with a focus on innovative product design. Rotacaster is a patented multi-directional wheel quickly becoming the alternative to the swivel caster. The Rotacaster is a sturdy, robust wheel, adaptable to a vast array of applications and it overcomes many of the limitations associated with the traditional swivel caster wheel.

A Canadian company needed a solution to transfer prefab concrete walls from one assembly line to the next in their curing facility. The solution needed to be durable, cost effective, and require minimal maintenance. Instead of the more traditional and substantial infrastructure, the company opted for Rotacasters arranged along the line and perpendicular to the primary direction of movement.

The final solution required only 72 paired R2 125mm Rotacasters per transfer table. A total of 12 tables were installed. Transferring the substantial wall slabs was facilitated by simple chain drive, necessitating minimal maintenance, while delivering reliable productivity.

The Rotacaster was developed to improve on the swivel caster wheel and it does so in a number of ways. The key improvements are:

- The ability to move loads in any direction while in a stable fixed mount. This delivers significantly improved load stability by eliminating caster induced shift in the center of gravity when changing directions. This is particularly critical for tall and or stacked loads.
- A precise response to steering input by eliminating caster lag during directional change.
- Directional stability on inclined surfaces. The stable fixed mount eliminates the 'runaway shopping cart' syndrome, significantly reducing the force required to move perpendicular to the incline.
- Bottom line, the ROTACASTER offers a significantly improved floor wheel performance compared to the traditional swivel caster.

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.
