Casters for Aerospace and AGV Applications
March 1, 2024
Caster Concepts Inc. offers the TWERGO Xtreme caster for heavy duty material handling demands in the automated guided vehicle (AGV) and aerospace sectors. Tested to move more than 20,000 lbs., these casters are designed to improve safety, maneuverability and workload efficiency in many applications.
"TWERGO Xtreme casters are a significant improvement when compared to traditional products used in these applications-reducing push/pull forces by up to 50%," said a company spokesperson. "These improvements enable a range of benefits for manufacturers, including significantly expanded operating range for AGVs and reduced push force for manual cart operations at higher loads."
TWERGO Xtreme casters are the next generation of Caster Concepts' patented TWERGO caster blueprint. Its distinct barbell design coupled with a tapered tread is the key to curbing caster wheel friction, the company reported. "This makes a palpable difference in minimizing push/pull forces, whether the application involves manual transportation of assembly components or AGV operations," said the spokesoperson.
When combined with the company's HALO Drive AGV solutions, manufacturers can potentially eliminate overhead cranes and benefit from increased cart maneuverability.
