FAULTLESS HISTORY<br />

As one of the world’s premiere caster manufacturers, <strong>Faultless</strong> provides casters and wheels<br />

for nearly every mobility purpose—more than 10,000 different high-quality caster combinations. Our<br />

mission at <strong>Faultless</strong>, <strong>Faultless</strong>-Nutting, and Rhombus continues to be a driving force:<br />

“To design, manufacture, and market casters and other mobility product at acceptable quality<br />

levels that solve problems and add high value to our customer’s products.”<br />

<strong>Faultless</strong> Caster has been specializing in its field since 1889, when Bernard H. Noelting<br />

founded it at his retail hardware store in Nebraska City, Nebraska. After perfecting a “faultless” caster,<br />

Noelting moved his growing business to Evansville, Indiana in 1913, to be close to what was then<br />

one of the world’s leading centers for furniture production.<br />

Perfecting a “faultless” caster was only the beginning. The product design engineering staff<br />

began developing new and modifying existing casters to achieve improved performance, cost savings,<br />

or both. Over the years, the product line has expanded to include industrial casters, non-powered<br />

material handling trucks, air cargo, business machines, medical and institutional, and sanitary<br />

maintenance. <strong>Faultless</strong> currently has the strongest and broadest product line in the industry.<br />

The breadth of <strong>Faultless</strong>’ product line and our commitment to quality has enabled us to<br />

remain successful for over 110 years. Our engineers, backed with over 100 years of experience in<br />

caster design and testing, utilize the latest technologies, including Auto Cad (over 10,000 prints) and<br />

Pro-E, which include 3-D modeling of parts and assemblies, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of models,<br />

and a Stereo Lithographic Apparatus (SLA). The SLA machine is capable of laser curing a functional<br />

model in a thermo-set resin to within +/- .005” tolerance in only a few hours. Once a caster<br />

has completed the design phase, our state-of-the-art test lab is used for both static and dynamic<br />

testing of casters and components. This complete testing facility tests up to a 20,000-lb. load capacity.<br />

<strong>Faultless</strong>—where technology and experience solve your mobility needs!
