Exceptional maneuverability in every direction

The 360 drive wheel enables precise and controlled movement in multiple directions. Using a simple control on the user interface, the drive wheel can rotate 90° to provide powered sideways movement to the left or right, making it easier to reposition equipment in confined spaces. The benefits:

  • Powered forward, backward and sideways movement
  • Precise positioning in confined spaces
  • 90° electric sideways drive
  • High maneuverability with limited turning space
  • Controlled movement for complex positioning tasks
  • Suitable for applications across healthcare, logistics & warehousing, and industry & manufacturing where precise positioning and high maneuverability are required.
