Rotacaster Wheel: Rotatruck hand truck

Rotacaster Wheel: Rotatruck hand truck

A hand truck by Rotacaster improves ergonomics and worker safety when stocking milk from crates on pallets into the cool room fridge displays.

The self-supporting Rotatruck carries loads up to 330 pounds while reducing the height from which the load is removed to stack into store shelves.

In addition to reducing the number of lower back bending and forward flexion episodes greater than 20 degrees, the truck enables shelves to be loaded 21% faster.
