Four People Pushing One Trolley. Now It Only Takes One
The Application
A forging facility handling heavy loads across a rough, burr-covered shop floor with a 30-trolley material-handling fleet.
The Challenge
Nylon wheels and single-bearing swivel heads couldn’t withstand burr ingress and repeated impact, failing every two months and requiring three to four workers just to move a single loaded trolley.
The Muvtons Solution
Muvtons matched a burr-resistant ME-SFS donut wheel to a 1.5-tonne-rated bracket platform (GRDE Series), engineered specifically for rough-surface manual towing and validated through the customer’s own trial before full rollout.
