TWERGO? Ergonomic Casters Earn Industry-First Independent Third-Party Approval

The Ergonauts’ approval confirms that Caster Concepts ’ TWERGO? ergonomic casters have been tested and validated to reduce push forces by over 55% compared with traditional balloon tread casters.

What does this mean?

To earn the Ergonauts Performance Technologies ' certification, a product must be tested, and the results confirmed by two senior professional ergonomists. The approval verifies that TWERGO? heavy-duty casters lower push forces. This helps cart operators avoid back strain and other common industrial ergonomic problems which are leading causes of lost time and injury costs.

Why this seal is important.

Year after year, poor ergonomics cause nearly one-third of all non-fatal workplace disabilities across all industries in the US.* It’s a high price for companies to pay in terms of lost productivity, lower morale, and higher insurance premiums.

Love it Bill, great piece of engineering and advertising As far as being a safety item, all you need to do is push a fully loaded cart for a shift and the understanding is very clear. Again, congratulations on Caster Concepts continued success, I certainly enjoyed my time with you and your team.
