What is TWERGO?? And Why Is It Better Than Your Wheel?

Efficient material handling in industrial settings is paramount, and the key to optimizing this process lies in the precision and ease with which material handling carts can be maneuvered. Enter Twergo? ergonomic wheels, a revolutionary solution designed to significantly reduce the effort required for pushing, pulling, and turning these carts. In the realm of manual cart movement, where short and precise actions can make a substantial impact, Twergo? stands out.

The fundamental challenge in material handling involves various movements, such as pulling a cart into the tugger line or navigating it to a specific location within the workspace. These actions demand considerable energy and pose the risk of overexertion injuries for cart operators. Twergo? ergonomic wheels address this challenge head-on by minimizing the effort needed in these movements, ensuring that operators can handle carts with ease and efficiency.

Starting an industrial cart from a dead stop, often requiring the application of an initial push force, is among the most demanding operations. Twergo? tackles this challenge through its patented industrial caster, boasting a parabolic face and independently rotating wheels. This unique design facilitates precise and effortless manual cart movement, making it a game-changer in the field of material handling.

But what exactly are Twergo? wheels? The acronym TWERGO stands for Twin Wheel Ergonomic, and the technology behind these wheels significantly reduces the forces required for starting, stopping, turning, and maneuvering material handling carts. The independently rotating wheels play a crucial role in minimizing friction, allowing for a smooth and controlled operation. The parabolic face design, coupled with a tapered tread, further reduces the force needed to initiate rolling.

The key benefits of Twergo? wheels are noteworthy:

1. 25% Reduction in Starting and Turning Force: Twergo? wheels significantly decrease the force needed to initiate movement and execute turns, reducing physical strain on operators and enhancing maneuverability.
2. Unique Tread Thickness: The distinctive tread thickness minimizes friction, eliminating scrubbing and sliding during turns, ensuring a more controlled operation.
3. Impact Resistance: Despite reduced friction, Twergo? wheels maintain the impact resistance expected from standard wheels, making them suitable for various applications.
4. Superior Tread Life: Known for exceptional tread life, Twergo? wheels withstand the rigors of industrial use, reducing the frequency of replacements.
5. Maintenance-Free: Engineered to be virtually maintenance-free, Twergo? wheels minimize downtime and associated maintenance costs, offering a cost-effective solution.
6. Rust-Proof Aluminum Die-Cast Cores: The wheel hub's rust-proof aluminum die-cast cores ensure maximum strength and durability, eliminating concerns about rust-related maintenance challenges.

Twergo? achieves its exceptional performance through caster technology that utilizes multiple thinner wheels in tandem. This configuration reduces wheel-to-floor surface contact, enabling each wheel to spin independently. The independent spinning functionality minimizes friction, enhancing overall maneuverability.

It's important to note that Twergo?'s mechanical design provides a significant advantage over other industrial wheel designs, such as balloon or donut wheels. While these designs reduce force by rounding the ends of the tread material, the benefits diminish as the tread wears. In contrast, Twergo? is built to last, featuring precision sealed ball bearing units, more durable tread material, and a tapered tread design.

The effectiveness of Twergo? has been demonstrated in in-house testing, showcasing a 25% reduction in force compared to conventional casters. Some users have even reported up to a 50% reduction in initial push force in their specific applications.

In conclusion, experiencing the difference Twergo? can make is as simple as trying one set of these industrial caster wheels on a cart in your facility.
