Unlock Superior Mobility with BIL Group Ergonomic Castors

Ergonomics isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a necessity. Ergonomics and proper material handling techniques make your job safer and help prevent injuries. Manual handling is an area of work that can cause injury through repetitive tasks and handling products incorrectly. Manual handling accounts for over a third of all workplace injuries. Almost half of the muscular-skeletal conditions affect employee’s backs, often caused by repetitive tasks which can result in overexertion and fatigue. Ergonomic castors are made for doing the hard work for you, to eliminate discomfort and risk of injury due to the work you are doing. These castors can aid users in the pushing and pulling motion of trolleys, trucks, and carts, taking the brunt of the weight meaning less downtime and risk of injury in your workforce and more productivity.

At BIL Group, health and safety are paramount in everything we do, so we supply a wide range of medium and heavy-duty ergonomic castors to aid your workforce in their daily tasks, saving you time and money, while increasing productivity and limiting downtime. We have also performed tests on our ergonomic castors versus other castor types and competitors, to prove the difference these can make to your day-to-day operations.

See why our castors are the ones you can trust:

High load capacity

Our ergonomic castors are engineered to handle heavy loads, up to 800kg, with ease. Our castors are designed to distribute the weight evenly, reducing strain on your equipment and floors.

Smooth and silent operation

Often, we think of our workforce’s muscles being strained by moving heavy loads, but their ears and hearing can also take a battering. Our castors feature precision ball bearings that ensure smooth, quiet movement. This is particularly beneficial where quiet movement is paramount, including in hospitals, offices, and retail spaces.

Enhanced design

We pride ourselves on putting health and safety at the forefront of any product we create, not only in making sure the product is safe but that it alleviates issues for your workforce too. Our castors are crafted to reduce the physical strain on the users. Their ergonomic design minimises the effort required to move heavy loads, reducing the risk of injuries, and enhancing productivity.

Durability and reliability

Our castors are manufactured using high-quality materials that resist wear and tear. Our rigorous testing processes ensure that each castor can withstand harsh conditions, providing you with a reliable solution that won’t let you down.

Versatility

Whether you need castors for trolleys, machinery, or medical equipment, we have you covered. Our ergonomic castors come in various sizes and specifications to meet the needs of many diverse industries.

Ergonomic Castor Test by BIL Group

To ensure our castors lead the market in both functionality and ergonomic benefits, BIL Group conducted the Ergonomic Castor Test. This test focuses on several critical factors, including:

Push/pull forces:

Our castors significantly reduce the initial and sustained force required to move loads, minimising physical strain and effort.

Operational efficiency:

The test confirms that our castors maintain high performance even under maximum load conditions, ensuring continuous smooth and effortless mobility.

User comfort and safety:

By testing the ergonomic design in real-world scenarios, we ensure that our castors not only meet but exceed industry standards for user comfort and safety.

The results of this rigorous testing demonstrate that BIL Group’s ergonomic castors reduce the risk of injury and improve overall workplace efficiency. For more detailed information on the Ergonomic Castor Test, you can read the full testing process here, or you can view the full range here.
