Rotacaster multi-directional wheels

The Rotacaster is the only multi-directional wheel technology developed primarily as an industrial and commercial floor wheel.

The fixed orientation of it's main wheel allows forward and reverse movement without fighting a swivel caster offset, while the peripheral rollers facilitate turning, rotational, lateral and diagonal movement. When navigating turns this also elimates all skipping associated with fixed wheels.

48mm Rotacaster catalogue

Key benefits include:

  • 360 degree manoeuvrability without turning or swiveling wheels
  • Better directional control and tracking
  • Precise positioning - without swivel offset correction
  • No resistance due to misaligned swivel castors
  • Minimal wheel space/housing requirements
  • Simple mounting - choose from forks, cups, channels and rails or stack together on an axle to form a roller wheel

The Rotacaster's unlimited manoeuvrability makes it a real alternative to a swivel castor and brings a whole new dimension of possibility to the design and functionality of wheeled products.

  • Load stability - a static centre of load relative to wheel base
  • Load distribution - the ability to use multiple wheels without swivel offset resistance
  • The ability to tilt or lever off the fixed wheel mounting
  • Robust - the combined wheel frame and roller axles provide a web like structure with over-moulded rollers
  • Tough - manufactured from engineering grade polymers
  • Rust free - full polymer construction with no steel pins
  • Non marking polyurethane rollers

Wheel Mounting Options


Due to their fixed orientation, Rotacaster multi-directional wheels allow for simple mounting options and can be mounted using any traditional fixed caster wheel mounting method.

A rail or plate fixing with single axle bolt provides the most simple and efficient method of mounting.

Mounting options can include but are not limited to:

•a standard fixed castor fork (rig)
•between framework of rails/channel with an axle
•on a continuous or stub axle

Multiple wheels have additional and varied mounting options.

 

 

 

 

Rotacasters are available in twokey sizes and multiple durometers.  They highly functional, robust and reliable alternatives to the traditional swivel caster. Rotacasters not only deliver a wide operational envelope, they enable the design of completely new applications and systems.
