Check Out How One Major Tire Manufacturer Used the
TWERGO Heavy Duty Caster
Of all the different casters designed and manufactured by Caster Concepts, the TWERGO line of ergonomic heavy-duty
casters is by far the most popular high capacity caster. This is due to its high capacity, ease of use, and bevy of
ergonomic features designed to keep employees and loads themselves safe. Here’s how one client was able to use the
TWERGO caster to its advantage.
The Problem
One of the largest manufacturers of tires in the country ran into a huge problem. These facilities’ employees utilize lead
trucks, which are designed to move rubber from one part of the facility to another. The problem was that the lead trucks
– which were moved by hand by facility employees – had become too heavy for one person to safely use. Utilizing two
operators would have been costly and awkward.
Other issues existed, too. For one, the polyurethane tread that was currently in use on the lead trucks was virtually
disintegrating, which meant that the floors were riddled with streaks and polyurethane debris could be found all over
the plant. This company came to Caster Concepts to resolve all these issues: they wanted casters that made it easier for
single employees to move heavy loads, that had better-quality ergonomic wheels that would not deteriorate over time,
and that would protect the facility floors at the same time.
The Solution
The company simply searched the internet to try to find a solution to their issue, and that search brought them to the
Caster Concepts website. After getting in touch with the experts, the solution became a priority. Caster Concepts quickly
set about creating the perfect solution, and they found it. After testing and testing again – including rigorous durability
and push-pull testing – the answer became clear. The tire manufacturer was presented with a maintenance-free caster
rig fitted with TWERGO ergonomic wheels.
After implementing this fix in the facility, the difference was drastic. Single employees could now move the rubbercarrying
lead trucks with ease, making their jobs safer and far more efficient. When the manufacturer came to Caster
Concepts, the initial push force was well over 100 pounds. The TWERGO caster wheels reduced this by 60% and helped
the company achieve a 40-pound initial push force. This made employees incredibly happy and reduced the risk of
overexertion injury substantially.
