What are we missing?
Design a flexible material handling system to incorporate 5,000 to 22,000 pounds that is easy to use and incorporates the safest design elements within cost and functionality
the new process layout in Dresser- Rand’s strategic project.

Locking casters allow for strict 2 directional motion Each caster must be turned and locked by hand 4 unidirectional caster sets will over-constrain the
Solves guidance issue Creates a directional control issue Creates an ergonomics issue
Single interface compatible with
all 3 compressor families
Tapered pin on top face for ease
Dual pin configuration on
bottom face for stability
