a revolution in motion

• Multi-directional wheels • Conveyor and Robotic Wheels •

• Rotatruck Materials Handling Equipment •

™

The Rotacaster concept is simple. A robust wheel, combining the freedom

of 360 movement with the stability of a fixed mounting, achieved through

the Rotacaster™ wheel’s patented design and monolithic, web-like

construction which uses rollers rather than a swivel mount.

Sold throughout Australia and exported around the world, the Rotacaster™ is used as a floor wheel, a conveyor wheel and in applications such as

hand carts and trolleys, materials handling equipment, robotics, mobile

furniture, pipe rollers and as an alternative to ball transfer units.

In 2008, Rotacaster Wheel Limited developed a range of materials handling equipment utilising the functionality and

manouverability of the Rotacaster wheel to increase safety and productivity. These products are sold under the Rotatruck™ banner. The range includes hand trucks and trolleys, dollies and load skates.

The Rotatruck™ Self Supporting Hand Truck was named the ‘Best solution to an identified workplace health and safety issue’ in the 2009 NSW Work Cover Safe Work Awards.

With core values such as safety, quality and, of course, innovation, Rotacaster Wheel Limited strives to design ergonomic products that are not only practical, but reduce overall costs.

Through decreasing the risk and frequency of strain injuries caused by repetitive manual handling tasks, and increasingindividual productivity, using a Rotacaster™ product can result in immediate economic benefits to your company.

Rotacastera revolution in motion

Rotacaster Wheel Limited is a young Australian company with a focus on innovative product design. We’ve taken an age

old concept and put a new twist on it, developing a true alternative to the swivel castor.

The original concept for the Rotacaster multi-directional wheel was developed by founder, Henry Guile whose inspirationcame from the bible.

The first chapter of Ezekiel describes a vehicle with four wheels and “their appearance and their work was as if it were a

wheel in the middle of a wheel”. From this simple idea, the Ezekiel Wheel was born.

Henry worked on his wheel for many years but his dream was never fully realised. Many years later, Henry's son Graham

revisited his father’s early work, re-engineering the wheel into the Rotacaster™ wheel of today - a sturdy, robust wheel, adaptable to a vast array of applications and the solution to the many short falls of the traditional swivel castor.

Here’s just some of the things that have been done with Rotacasters

What could you do?

™

Multi-directionalWheels

The Rotacaster™ is a patented multi-directional wheel that, while fixed in a primary orientation, can facilitate movementin any direction without the need of a traditional swivel mount.

While multi-directional wheels have been used for some time in conveyor and light duty robotics applications, the Rotacaster™ multi-directional wheel is engineered to provide the additional robustness, durability and ride quality necessary for use as an industrial floor wheel.

Patented Construction

Manufactured from engineering polymers, the Rotacaster’s injection moulded, weblike structure and over-mouldedrollers, ensure not only a durable and robust wheel, but one with no pins, inserts or seams, making it ideal for toughenvironments.

The fixed orientation of the wheel facilitates both simple and stable mounting alternatives that improve load stabilityand are less prone to impact damage. This also allows for the wheel to be housed within a product with minimal spaceor clearance requirements.

Typical Applications• Material handling equipment (hand trucks,trolleys, dollies, carts, skates etc)• Shopping trolleys and luggage• Freezer duty trolleys and carts• Conveyor transfers, pipe rollers and otherinverted applications• Ball transfer table alternative• Mobile furniture, appliances and work benches• Robotics

Benefits• 360 degree movement and rotation• Greater load stability• Easier directional control and tracking• Greater control on inclines via primary axis tracking• Precision placement - no offset movement• Minimal space / housing requirements• Non-marking polyurethane rollers• Long-life, robustness and durability• Corrosion-resistant - full polymer wheel

Rotatruck’s award winning Self-Supporting Hand Truck (patent pending) reduces the effort required to pack and transport a load whilst reducing the repetition and duration of many activities that are associated with the use of traditional hand trucks and that lead to strain injuries.

Benefits• Fully supports the load in reclined operating position, removing the need to balance it• Allows negotiation of obstructions, single steps and kerbs without the need to reverse• Levers load up a kerb with much less force than traditional hand trucks using a more ergonomic posture• Reduces the pull-back effort required to change from upright to operating position• 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• Increased load stability means less chance of load spillage and stock spoilage• Rotational and lateral (direct sideways) manoeuvrability makes it easier to handle loads in confined spaces • Excellent tracking characteristics, even across inclines
