Ergonomic Caster and Wheels
One of the most overlooked aspect inside industrial businesses, warehouses, and automotive manufacturing plants is the type of Casters and Wheels that are being used on manually pushed carts and equipment on a daily basis. Upgrading your Casters and Wheels to Ergonomic Casters has significant benefits from improved ergonomic performance, reduction in push/pull force, easier start up and initiation, reduced risk of injury, liability, and worker comp claims, and finally a vast increase in productivity. Depending on your companies budget there are a few different classes of ergonomic casters and wheels. Although, when we are talking about preventing injuries and increasing productivity I think the budget should be excluded or at least on the bottom list of the priorities in this specific scenario. Push/Pull force is one of the most important components when providing an ergonomic Caster or Wheel when the operator is required to manually move the carts with casters. The total weight capacity including the weight of the cargo once fully loaded needs to be taken into consideration when choosing the right ergonomic caster and wheel combination.
