Thorstein Selmer
International account manager
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:
The 360 drive wheel is typically integrated as a 5th wheel, positioned centrally between four swivel wheels for controlled movement and precise positioning. Depending on the product geometry and movement requirements, it can also be mounted at the front or rear of the frame.

What others say
"...I can now push with just one hand"
“The previous trolley was very difficult to drive and caused me pain. I’m very satisfied with the new drive. I can now push with just one hand, even with my frozen shoulder.”

"...chance to embed risk prevention and staff welfare"
“Budgets must be justified, but we knew any injury causing extended sick leave would significantly impact staffing. This was our chance to embed risk prevention and staff welfare into our capital replacement program.”
