Interactive, 3-d Online Product Catalog

Free Critical Application Assessment with Product Recommendation

Colson Online Catalog

Colson’s exclusive, interactive, 3-D online selection and modeling program has reduced a process that previously would have taken hours to just minutes on the new site.

Colson Caster Corporation, a manufacturer of standard and custom application caster and wheel products, has expanded its interactive 3-D product design program to include its full caster line. The program now allows customers to choose design specifics for their caster needs from the complete Series 1-8 product selections. Upon registering application requirements, Colson’s unique, online option evaluates the data and allows customers to immediately view a 3-D model of their appropriate caster model.

“The impressive reception from our customers of our initial 2 and 4 Series caster products 3-D program encouraged us to move quickly to include the full series,” says David Long, product manager with Colson. “Now, customers can source any of their caster products needs easily and economically.”

Colson’s exclusive, interactive, 3-D online selection and modeling program has reduced a process that previously would have taken hours to just minutes on the new site. The customer is able to quickly view and identify first-choice caster solutions as well as possible alternate caster choices by adjusting the product parameters. Upon selection of the desired caster product, or set of caster products, customers can request a quote or more information. Customers do not lose time searching for product that does not fit or exist. Should a caster from the series not be appropriate for the stated application, as always, Colson’s engineering and manufacturing experts are available to custom-design a caster to specification. 

“This expanded system now has no limits on the specifications for the caster requirements,” adds Long.  “The availability of our entire product inventory, from 1 Series to 8 Series casters makes the process even more valuable for our customers.”

Colson’s proprietary, interactive, 3-D catalog, with the expanded product catalog, is available now for application evaluations by clicking on the 3D caster icon at www.colsoncaster.com and is offered free to any visitor to the site.  There is also a link to Colson’s new 3D product library from www.3dcontentcentral.com, an independent reference website for designers and engineers.
