FOCUS ON Casters/tuggers/cartsHandle heavy rolls, reels and coilswith special pallet jackThe Pallet Mule roll and reel pallet jack can move any roll,reel or coil of paper, sheet metal, aluminum, wire, cable, fabric,carpet or plastic easily and safely. It handles capacitiesup to 4,000 pounds and can be custom-built for optimumtransport. To prevent damage to the materials, the vehiclecradles the entire length of the load while moving it onpolyurethane wheels with an aluminum core for smooth,easy rolling. An optional turn-buckle can be used for heavierloads and/or longer fork lengths to prevent fork ends fromspreading. Heavy, 7-gauge steel and solid steel, rectangularpush rods are used in construction for durability and longlifespan. Wesley International, 888-283-3535, www.packmule.com.Hand truck fully supports load by itselfThe Rotatruck hand truck fully supports a load by itself whilereducing the effort, time and repetitiveness of its use. Whenpulling back a load, the 5-inch front wheel provides a closer andlower pivot point to the load center, reducing both the effortrequired and the need to bend or over reach to support theload. In negotiating a curb with a load, the operator approachesin a forward direction, raises the frontwheels by pushing down on the handle,levers the load up using bentknees and a straight back, thencontinues on in the forwarddirection. The hand truckhandles loads up to 605pounds. Rotacaster,714-771-2630,www.rotacaster.com.au.Leveling caster accommodatesuneven floorsOffered in 2- and 3-inch wheel models, the LevelMaster adjustableleveling caster moves loads weighing up to 400 and 1,000pounds per caster respectively, depending on the tread materialspecified. Both casters feature leveling functions to stabilizetheir load, ensuring a solid foundation on uneven floor surfaces.The casters may be mounted with either plate or stem options,and incorporate a shock absorbing non-slip rubber leveling padfor stability when engaged with floor surfaces. Hardened steelload ball bearings and secondary thrust ball bearings touch theswivel raceway on all four sides to protect a heavy-duty, 1-inchdiameter central king pin for free swiveling under heavy loads.All moving parts are heat-treated to extend caster life. Darnell-Rose, 626-912-1688, www.casters.com.Float 6,000-pound loads with air bearingsConstructed of durable, lightweight cast aluminum, a new airskid for precise, omni-directional movement and positioningof heavy loads or machinery incorporates a rugged one-pieceframe that has no welds. Standing at 2.5 inches tall for easyloading, the device uses high-performance air bearings tocreate a continuous flowing film of air between a flexible diaphragmand the floor for friction free movement that reduceswear on floors. The unit’s slide-out, tray-mounted air bearingallows it to be pulled out from the side without removing theload or turning the skid over. Features include tapped mountingholes on the top and sides of the frame for multiple mountingoptions, and four air inlet choices for simple air hose management.The unit weighs 35 pounds (including air bearing and tray)and handles loads up to 6,000 pounds.
