Answering the most-asked Drive Caster® questions. When cart loads exceed 2,500 pounds, they become difficult to move manually. Initial push force requirements, tight spaces, overexertion injuries, and other problems can keep a cart from being utilized. In these instances, using a Drive Caster® or another motorized caster solution can solve these issues effectively and affordably. […]
Omnidirectional refers to the concept of existing in every direction. This concept is especially relevant in motorized cart applications where maneuverability is an issue. In these cases, omnidirectional maneuverability combined with the ability to carry a heavy payload has proven to be a very cost- and time-efficient motorized solution for many companies. Conceptual Innovations has […]
Conceptual Innovations recently designed a drive cart that will be utilized by a prominent electric vehicle manufacturer in their battery plant. The cart is designed to assist operators in moving heavy 6,000-lb. rolls of foil material from two different machines, a winding machine and a slitting machine. One of the cart’s main features is its […]
As practical as a material handling cart is, there are times where a fully loaded cart weighs too much to move manually. When cart loads exceed 2,500 pounds, they become challenging to push or pull using a traditional caster configuration. In addition, initial push force requirements, tight spaces, the potential for overexertion injuries, and other […]
