Our solution for exacting design requirements: a large family.
The starting point
The family business Greiner GmbH develops couches, chairs and seats for various different applications including those in medical practices, hospitals, hair dressers and even vehicles. For more than 90 years now, three aspects have taken centre stage:
outstanding design, functionality and ergonomics. The aim here is to meet the most exacting demands. Above all, however, it should be apparent at first glance that all of the products come from Greiner.
Different tasks – a consistent image
The high expectations in terms of design, functionality and ergonomics apply to all parts of the chairs and couches made by the company – and this includes the castors too. Since the product range is so varied, the manufacturer needs solutions that are available in different sizes, perform different functions depending on the type of application, while also establishing a uniformed overall image. When Greiner was looking for suitable castors for its medical couches, the company approached us with this challenge.
Our smart mobility solution
To meet Greiner's many requirements, we offer a distinguished solution - in the true sense of the word.
The design of the Linea double castor has been distinguished with the Red Dot Award and has made a name for itself in the field of medical applications. The variety of models in the product family is definitive here. The castor is available in different sizes, with various ergonomic locking systems and with an impressive variety of additional advantages for the medical sector. In short: it is practically predestined to meet these numerous requirements.
The Linea family offers easy-to-clean castors, versions with extremely low overall height and even electrically conductive models.
The different types of brakes provide improved ergonomics, better safety or outstanding directional stability. Furthermore, most of the 100, 125 and 150 millimetre Linea castors are equipped with a total of four precision ball bearings – a unique selling point in the market. Smaller diameter castors are also available with two ball bearings as an option as well. But no matter which version you choose, every Linea guarantees out-standing running characteristics and effortless manoeuvring.
Not to mention, it leaves nothing to be desired in design terms either: the product family presents a uniform image and can be supplied in various special colours. The printing of the hubcaps is also a great advantage. Manufacturers and users can show their logo on the caps or use them for various coding purposes. In this way the Linea can adapt to any design specifications and also permits colour coding, which allows simple and un-ambiguous allocation to different areas of the hospital.
The uniform design of the TENTE product family enables us to establish a unique market position.
