Darcor's ergonomic logo symbolizes work-efficient, worker-friendly casters that will reduce injury, time lost due to injury and production delays.

Ergonomics is the study of human abilities, human limitations and other human characteristics that are relevant to design. From this knowledge, an ergonomic, worker-first approach has been adopted in the design of tools, machines, systems, tasks, jobs and environments for safe, comfortable and effective human use.

Companies and countries spend billions on workplace injuries and all the associated human and production costs. Currently, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is proposing legislation that requires industry to improve their operations in an effort to reduce work-related injuries, from back strain to hearing loss.

Building products that are ergonomically sound can eliminate many of these problems. Start from the ground up with ergonomic casters from Darcor.

How Ergonomics and Casters Relate

Ergonomics is the tailoring of products so that the human user involved is as comfortable as possible, and stress and fatigue are minimized. Health, safety and productivity benefits often result from this worker-friendly approach.

Darcor believes the primary force behind caster product development during the next century will be the increasing concern for ergonomics and safety.

Every Darcor caster is designed to help your company perform effectively and safely. Whether you push, pull or drive through your workplace, Darcor casters are a silent partner, improving mobility with the lowest rolling resistance available.
