From time to time, a truly unique design comes about in the world of casters and wheels. Normally, new designs focus on bearings, tread, brakes, etc. However, once in a great while, not to sound punny, someone really does reinvent the wheel.
Rotacaster, Ltd., of Newcastle, NSW, Australia, has done just that. The Rotacaster is an "omnidirectional" wheel. No swivel rigs are needed, the wheel, in a rigid mounting can go in any direction. Each wheel is covered with directional rollers, allowing the wheel to move from side to side. The design solves many problems, including failure of swivel sections, ergonomic issues, and tight turning situations.
The wheels can be used for so much more than just casters. Applications include hand trucks, appliance dollies, conveyors, furniture dollies, and much more.
