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.

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.
