Used in robotics, conveyor transfer and other inverted applications, the Omnia Wheel full polymer construction provides a highly durable and reliable alternative to ball transfers.
I need one of this where can ai buy one online?? I work as a truck driver for a bakery and I want to show this to my boss . My co-workers will defenely love to work using this hand truck.
Hi Cameron, the particular model in this video is a narrow wheelbase one for environments such as these with rows, however, the same components and general setup is used with a wider wheelbase and our stock and beverage trucks are built with the same. Our largest market group is in fact wholesale food and beverage distributors who do exactly what you said. They can take a beating. When we talk with the drivers there is no way they would go back to a two-wheeler. I encourage you to try one, your back is too important.
I worked in a cooperage and your faster and easier to just walk with the drum if its empty, you walk while spinning the drum like steering a car but easier you never cross your arms or the drum will fall and mostly on your shins. It takes about 5 month to master handling the drums. Plus we were moving whiskey barrels too and lifting them ourselfs to double them up. You can throw drums up 3 high but not a whiskey barrel they are really heavy, the drums are heavy to when you first start to lift them and i always thought they were wider at the top than the whiskey barrel and both were 45 gallon in the uk and 3ft in height. But america say there 55 gallon? Wich i cant work out, and neither do americans lol why? Becouse they dont hold 55 gallon. Its 45. But watching the coopers for a few minutes you just knew there was so much more to it than making a barrel go round out of wood. Wich people thought was brilliant, they were always asking me how do they do that and not make it leak thats amazing that. The geometry in it alone is amazing apart from the hard hammering those hoops down to tighten the barrel with a heavy hammer and driver and they only had a thread of space to hit the driver at full force onto the hoops, and theres 8 hoops to each barrel i thinck. In 1993 the coopers were earning £5.85p a barrel but they could make 2 or 3 an hour For a 45 gallon barrel. It was a really dirty job as well. One day a cooper said to me "it all depends what kind of work we get in some days are hard and some are easier. For example for 3 month we were getting in butts and puncheons wich are nearly the same, one is 5ft4 inches in height or 2 or 3 inches, and we were getting £12 for one but these hold at least 120 gallon and we were doing at least 12 to 14 a day. All we had to do was find the leak and fix it and we could do 2 in an hour or an hour and 15 minutes give or take, its great when you get work like that in and earning at least £700 a week" and that was 29 years ago. But ma dad told me coopers were always well paid, but they need to work in terrible conditions! It was hard and it was really dirty, black all over!!! And i was a labourer!
Thanks for the reply. I could not find any omnidirectional threadmils for people using Rotacasters, though. Do you perhaps have a link to one (video or other)? I find this sort of tech really interesting! Thanks again :)
Hello Qadri! Thanks for your interest in our products. In the past there have been specific modification for two lines of crates at a time. It would be best to contact our sales engineer in our Rotacaster office. He is the person with the biggest knowledge and he will clearly be able to help you. Just call 1300 768222 or send us an email to info@rotacaster.com.au We are looking forward to hearing from you. All the best from the Rotacaster Team.
Rotacaster I am interested because at work, currently home depot store (not warehouse), we could use it, but HD doesn't have or want a large turntable place. If this is something that could be stored vertically easily, when not in use, I think would be a strong selling point.
yes it is possible to store vertically without fear of any of the wheels etc falling off, you would need to hinge the support legs of course a bit like a card table
