The cover is designed to protect wheels across food, pharmaceutical, biological, medical, automotive, aerospace, optical, nanotechnology and military industries, as well as laboratory and research facilities.
Nick Davis, creator of the cover, stated: “This invention is a world first. It is such a simple idea, as the best ones often are, that solves a need for any organisation that utilises castor mounted units in hygiene and cleanroom areas.
“The cover is now a completed project designed for a cost-effective manufacturing process with a marketing programme, with a motivated sales force and a resilient client base.”
