Caster Concepts has launched the 97 and 97 HD Series, a new line of maintenance-free casters can maneuver around tight corners, reduce the drain on motor-powered platforms, and carry between 10,000 and 20,000 pounds per caster, respectively.
The 97 and 97 HD Series was initially designed for the Omni-Directional Drive system from Conceptual Innovations, a Caster Concepts company. Engineers developed the solution for moving heavier loads on automatic guided vehicles (AGV) without requiring a larger drive system or draining battery power.
The casters feature an ergonomic swivel-on-swivel design found on many Caster Concepts products, making them easier to pull and push. For people-powered lifts and carts, they reduce workplace injuries. For motor-powered systems, the 97 and 97 HD casters can help save battery life, reduce motor torque and allow for more precise forward/back movements with little vehicle sway.
