ITD takes precautions: Change of castor wheels on all equipment trolleys

In future ITD GmbH shall, as standard practise, fit all its mobile equipment trolleys with double castor wheels without a total locking device and thus preventing any possible safety risks.

With immediate effect ITD GmbH, Europe’s leading supplier of mobile and stationary carrier systems in the medical-technical field, shall no longer supply their mobile equipment trolleys with double castor wheels with an integrated total locking device. In this manner IDT will prevent a possible safety problem - that has already occurred on the market in products of other companies - this consists of a possible loosening of the thread bolt in the castor wheel, and in the worst scenario might result in breakage.

The currently installed double castor wheels with locking devices shall – as usual – be activated by simple activation of the brake on the front or rear castor wheels, depending on the type of equipment trolley. This does not only guarantee a stable position of the equipment trolley, it also ensures a safe working process. These castors comply with the strict requirements of the EN 60601 standards.

Nothing changes with regard to the well-known quality, the different sizes as well as the manufacture of the castor wheels: as standard they have a medium lining hardness, are suitable for all kinds of floors and easily overcome everyday driving obstacles, such as cables. In addition – depending on the model – they are available with a diameter of 75, 100 or 125 mm and are respectively either conductive or non-conductive.

Experiencing ITD products “live“

Throughout the year a big showroom at the site in Unteraching near Munich as well as numerous national and international specialized fairs that are attended by ITD themselves or one of their numerous national specialist dealers or international agencies offer the possibility to experience ITD products live. All contact details as well as an up-to-date overview of all trade fairs and events can be found on the Internet.
