Life Cycle And Durability
Test Site: Wallis Lake Fisherman’s Co-operative
Application: Custom trolley for movement of multiple crates of ice packed fish to and from process area to freezers.
Normal Loading: Averaging between 150-200 kg (325-450 lbs)
Period in use: 2 ½ years (Oct 05 to March 08)
(Nylon swivel castor replacement – every 6 months)
Environment: Coastal location in a highly abrasive and corrosive working environment. The exfoliated (exposed aggregate) floor combined with constant exposure to salt water and sand provided extremely harsh wear characteristics compared to those normally encountered in most working environments.
Summary: despite the absence of any maintenance, the rotacaster provided a life-cycle five (5) times greater than the alternative nylon swivel castor when used in this environment.

IAG Research Centre was approached by Rotacaster® Wheels Limited to perform some
testing on Rotacaster® shopping trolley wheels. The aim of this testing was to compare the
characteristics of Rotacaster® shopping trolley wheels with those of standard shopping trolley
wheels. The characteristics that were tested for were directional control, speed control and
incline behaviour.

RPE Drop Test
The purpose of the drop test is to evaluate the strength of the wheel structure under verticle loading, since this type of loading is that to which the wheel is most commonly subjected. It is damage caused by this type of loading which is most likely to result in the malfunction of the wheel.
