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 offset, while the peripheral rollers facilitate turning, rotational, lateral and diagonal movement.

Key benefits include:

360degree 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
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

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.

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 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.

Currently we offer a number of fork mount plus wheel unit options for 125mm multi-directional wheels.
