To safely, easily and quickly lower and raise high capacity compressed gas cylinders, the self-supporting Rotatruck by Rotacaster Wheel maneuvers loads off and onto stillages and transfers them to welding machines or floor positions.
The system uses a four-wheel, all-terrain wheelbase and two-frame construction. Loads are secured by magnets and controlled through a damper with no power pack; instead the system uses ergonomic levering to provide a safe alternative to lifting the load.
This eliminates operator bending and reduces load pull effort by 59%, stepping up curbs by 78%, navigating doorways by 67%, and navigating obstacles and confined spaces by 62%.
