TWERGO casters were designed to minimize back strains and other common issues related to traditional material handling carts'" Doug Backinger , Vice President of Sales at Caster Concepts, explained. "By taking a user first approach with our product development, we design casters that make operations safer and more efficient. We are committed to continuous innovation to improve our customers' safety and productivity."
