Caster Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the study of human abilities, limitations and other characteristics relevant to product design. Its objective is to assure that workplace stress, fatigue, and injury are minimized and productivity maximized.

 Long before it became a buzzword, ergonomics was the basis of everything we do at Darcor—creating casters that simultaneously achieve three objectives: cutting cost, increasing output, and reducing workplace injuries.

Because Darcor casters are better designed and manufactured to closer tolerances, testing proves that they start, move and swivel—and absorb shocks—far more easily than competitive products. In turn, this allows your people to move heavier loads more quickly and reliably…with less strain and greater safety. In addition, user experience has shown that our casters also sharply reduce serious overexertion injuries which, in the US alone, cost industry more that $60 billion annually.*

Pushed, pulled or driven through your workplace, Darcor casters are also silent partners, dramatically reducing noise and noise-related injury as they improve mobility.

At Darcor, we are committed to assist your organization to capitalize on all aspects of ergonomics, applied from the ground up. Click on the link to download copy of the comprehensive and informative Darcor White Paper the Ergonomics of Manual Material Handling.
