Rotatruck by Rotacaster Innovative Solution for Beverage Industry

Sept. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Rotacaster Wheel Limited is an Australian company with a focus on innovative product design. A patented multi-directional wheel quickly becoming the alternative to the swivel caster, the Rotacaster is a sturdy, robust wheel, adaptable to a vast array of applications and it overcomes many of the limitations associated with the traditional swivel caster wheel.   
Rotacaster recently announced an innovative solution delivering significant ergonomic safety and productivity improvement, named Rotatruck for the retail and beverage industry. Peter McKinnon, Managing Director for Rotacaster, explained the challenge an Australian grocery retailer was facing. The company was looking to improve its ergonomic safety and productivity when stocking milk from crates on pallets into the cool room fridge displays.

The effective Rotatruck latching system can be adapted to a wide range of applications, and is currently being tested for other crate transporting uses.

The key risks factors addressed by Rotatruck include:

o   Force:  The Rotatruck substantially reduces the force required by an operator.   
o   Repetition:  The Rotatruck reduces repetition and exertion  
o   Awkward Position:  The Rotatruck reduces the bending required when pulling back.
Applications for the Rotacaster range from material handling equipment (hand trucks, trolleys, dollies, carts, skates) to shopping carts and luggage; from conveyor transfers, pipe rollers, and other inverted applications to robotics and patient lifts in medical settings.
