ALBION, MI – Caster Concepts Inc., a global leader in the design and production of heavy-duty industrial casters, announces the expansion of its popular TWERGO® caster product line.
Designed to reduce strain injuries, Caster Concepts’ TWERGO® uses a unique dumbbell design to minimize caster wheel friction, reducing the force required to push or pull materials or completed manufacturing assemblies by up to 50 percent compared to traditional industrial caster designs. Castor Wheels Heavy Duty
Of all the factors that affect worker well-being in industrial manufacturing environments, ergonomic casters have become a crucial part of the safety equation. The amount of push force needed to move, turn and maneuver heavy duty carts and dollies can be reduced by using TWERGO casters that feature independently rotating wheels. The use of polyurethane wheels ensures even greater safety and longer caster life, lowering total cost of ownership for manufacturers.
“In today’s manufacturing environment, with staffing shortages at an all-time high and fewer people on production lines, the risk of OSHA recordable injuries is greater than ever,” said Doug Backinger, vice president of sales at Caster Concepts. “Worker safety is a priority in our product design, and, as a result, our industrial casters move more with lower push forces required.”
Here’s a look at the TWERGO product line:
