Omnia wheel is an Australian business designing and manufacturing patented multi-directional wheel systems with 360° turn mobility.

Ever seen a wheel roll sideways? Omnia's patented multi-directional wheels combine the simplicity and functionality of a fixed wheel with the mobility of a swivel caster. Basically, our omni wheels can move in any direction! Made from a polymer construction, they are an impact and corrosion-resistant alternative to ball transfers and other omni-directional wheels. With the ease of mounting and directional tracking control, we achieve outstanding results for our clients and partners, including Woolworths, Coles, Liquorland, BOC, PFD Foodservices and Coca-Cola. We also make the award winning Omni Glider, that makes moving large potted plants, a breeze. Omnia wheels can be a game changer for the mobility of your product or application. If you'd like to discuss the possibilities, contact Peter McKinnon (Managing Director) on +61 (0)411 143 340 to put a new spin on things. Visit us at: www.omniawheel.com

Today is 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆, recognising the importance of accessibility, independence and mobility for people who are blind or have low vision.

At OMNIA Wheel, we've developed a white cane tip using Omnia omni wheels. The 𝗢𝗺𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 is one example of how omni-wheel technology can be applied to many solutions, including mobility aids.

We are proud to support people who are blind or have low vision by developing innovative mobility solutions like Omni Sense, designed to enhance mobility and support greater independence in everyday life.

The OmniSense features two 50mm omni wheels and is designed to reduce friction, maintain continuous ground contact and improves sensory and audio feedback.

Our signature omni wheel range is available in seven engineered sizes, delivering multidirectional mobility solutions across an extensive range of industries and applications.

Featured here are our 50mm, 90mm and 180mm omni wheels, showcasing the versatility of the Omnia Wheel range—from compact precision systems through to heavy-duty industrial applications.

Each wheel is engineered to meet specific load capacities, operating environments and performance requirements. Regardless of size, every Omnia Wheel is built on the same patented principle: independently rotating rollers positioned around the wheel body to deliver true omnidirectional movement, exceptional manoeuvrability and precise control.

From robotic and medical equipment mobility to conveyor systems, automation and ergonomic materials handling, Omnia's wheels enable engineers, designers and OEMs to create smarter, more agile movement solutions.

We’re thrilled to share that Omnia Wheel has been named a finalist in the Excellence in Innovation category at the Business Hunter Awards! 🎉

Innovation has always been at the heart of what we do — from developing new applications for omni wheel technology to continually improving the way we design and manufacture omni wheels right here in the Hunter.

This recognition is a reflection of the creativity, technical expertise and commitment of our entire team, and we’re proud to be recognised among some of the Hunter region’s leading businesses.

Congratulations to all of this year’s finalists. We look forward to celebrating the achievements of the Hunter business community at the awards.

⚡ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿?

That was the challenge behind Power-Assisted Rotatruck Prototype #1, developed in 2026 through the University of Technology Sydney’s Design in Mechanical and Mechatronic Systems program.

The project was undertaken by Mikhail, who has since joined the engineering team here at Omnia.

Inspired by the intuitive assistance of an electric bike, the goal was to explore whether power assistance could further reduce operator effort — without changing the way a Rotatruck is used.

No throttle.
No buttons.
No additional operating technique.

Instead, the prototype uses two brushless hub motors and intelligent control logic to estimate how much force the operator is applying. The harder they push, the more assistance the Rotatruck provides.

When travelling downhill, the system can also apply resistance to help maintain greater control over a heavy load.

As Mikhail explains:

“We wanted the assisted Rotatruck to feel identical to the standard one — you walk up, you push, it moves. It just feels lighter than it should.”

In the video, Mikhail demonstrates this principle in action, applying only a light push while the power-assist system responds to his input.

The potential is particularly exciting for industries such as last-mile delivery, warehousing, hospitality and healthcare, where workers regularly move heavy loads over longer distances and across inclines.

This is only Prototype #1, with plenty of development still ahead, but it is an exciting exploration of how intelligent engineering could further improve ergonomics and productivity in manual handling.

It is also a great example of what can come from connecting talented engineering students with real-world industry challenges.

Over the past two months, Bianca and Lily from the University of Newcastle have been completing their Industrial Experience with Omnia, working on the development of the second generation of the Omni-Sense White Cane Tip. Both are studying a double degree in Mechanical & Medical Engineering.

OmniSense introduces omni-wheel technology to the traditional white cane. Using two 50mm Omnia omni wheels, the cane tip can move freely in all directions while providing enhanced sensory and auditory feedback and improved durability compared with many conventional cane tips.

The customer feedback we received on the first generation of OmniSense highlighted the need for an even more robust product to support users’ active lifestyles. Bianca and Lily responded to this feedback by redesigning the axle and bearing assembly to improve durability and better withstand the demands of everyday use.

With just a couple of weeks remaining in their placement, we wanted to acknowledge the contribution they have already made to the OmniSense project. It has been great to see them apply their engineering knowledge and ideas to a real-world product development challenge, and they’re both looking forward to seeing the newest generation of OmniSense in action.

Thank you, Bianca and Lily, for choosing to complete your placement with Omnia and for the knowledge, time and effort you have contributed to the project so far.

Omnia is exhibiting at the Hunter Defence Conference on 26–27 August!

We’re looking forward to connecting with Defence industry leaders, OEMs and innovators to explore how Omnia’s Australian-made omni wheel technology could support Defence applications.

At the conference, we’ll be showcasing a concept torpedo load handling application built on Omnia omni wheels, demonstrating how heavy and awkward loads can be maneuvered with better directional control and greater load stability.

From specialised equipment handling and logistics to robotics and custom mobility solutions, Omnia technology opens up new possibilities for improving ergonomics, safety and speed.

Over the past 20 years, Omnia's omni wheel moulding operations have undergone a significant transformation.

At our original Tighes Hill factory, the team manually operated four moulding machines, producing 64,404 wheels across four wheel ranges during the 2018 financial year.

Today, our Beresfield facility is equipped with 15 moulding machines, 3 automated production systems and 11 robots. With automation supporting our team, we manufactured 858,388 wheels across 7 wheel ranges during the 2025 financial year — while using only 32% of our total machine capacity.

This investment in automation has significantly increased our production capability, improved consistency and created substantial capacity for future growth.
