The rotacaster is a robust, high impact multi-directional wheel designed and manufactured for both floor and conveyor transfer use.

It provides the ideal alternative to both swivel castors and ball transfer units.

The injection molded monolithic frame (incorporates both hub and outer roller axles) and the over-molded rollers means no pins, inserts or seams to come apart or fall out. In short you have to wear it out, or destroy it.

Singles can be combined to form either free turning or keyed driven rollers or wheels, while the double and triple wheels are generally fitted with fork, channel or rail mounts. The rotacaster standard range includes polyurethane or rubber rollers, and on the double and triple wheels, sealed or nylon bearings.
