Rotatruck hand trucks and trolleys from Rotacaster are ergonomically designed to improve safety and productivity.

the rotatruck self supporting hand truck

Without compromising directional control or load stability, the Rotatruck self supporting hand trolley fully supports the load removing the need to balance or support any weight unlike traditional trolleys and hand trucks. The fixed orientation of the four Rotacaster omni-wheels provide a static wheelbase, ensuring a stable load environment with unrivalled manoeuvrability. 

Such are the Occupational Health and Safety benefits of the Rotatruck self supporting hand truck, it was recognised at the 2009 NSW Work Cover Safe Work Awards as the 'best solution to an identified workplace health and safety issue'. The hand trolley was also recognised as a finalist in 2010 National Safe Work Awards in the same category.

Key Benefits 

• fully supports the load, removing the need to balance any weight.
• negotiates obstructions, single steps and kerbs in a forward direction without the need to reverse eliminating trip hazards.
• the trolley levers, rather than lifts a load up or over an obstruction or kerb using less force, improving ergonomic posture of the user.
• reduces the pull back effort required to change from upright to the operating position requiring up to 35% less effort than traditional hand trucks and trolleys.  
• allows loading to be completed in the operating position, removing the need to pull back heavy loads. 
• frees up hands to open doors without parking or balancing the load unlike other trolleys on the market.
• provides rotational and lateral (direct sideways) manoeuvrability in confined spaces such as lifts, corridors and storerooms. 
• excellent tracking characteristics, even across trafficable inclines through the use of Rotacaster's patented multidirectional wheels.
