    Albion, Michigan - The Ford Motor Co. has chosen CasterShoX casters from Caster Concepts for its line delivery carts at the company's Cuautitlán Assembly Plant, near Mexico City, Mexico.

    The CasterShoX casters, which can be treaded with Caster Concepts polyurethane ranging from 70A to 70D Shore Hardness, will reduce cart noise in the plant by 15-18 decibels, or up to 95 percent, and improve ergonomic pull tests on the manually handled carts by 20 percent, a recent statement said.

    Caster Concepts is an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9001:2000 certified designer and manufacturer of special and custom casters and wheels for a range of applications including industrial, aerospace, food service and material handling. (RD)
