Heavy load moving skate BB30/4

with 4-point support360°

Ball transfer skates engage with cantilever supermarket shelving legs allowing entire (laden) aisles with each train section weighing up to 3000kg to be moved quickly. Once the train of aisles has been moved, they can be securely locked using the parking brake/locking unit. Ball transfer skates are a multi-directional alternative to typical gondola shelving dollies. Omnitrack was approached by a large global food retailer who wanted a solution to reduce the time taken to move shelving units around the store. When cantilever shelving needed to be moved the traditional method required high manual labour and logistical difficulties. Firstly, the shelving needed to be emptied and contents moved to another area. The shelving then required disassembly and reassembly in the new location, at which point it would need restocking. Omnitrack developed a low-profile compact BB30/4 skate plate containing 4 x M30A medium-duty ball transfer. The 4 ball units use 30mm diameter main stainless steel balls: Stainless steel balls so if the skates are run over a wet floor the units will not corrode. Large diameter main ball to increase 4 points of contact with the floor and minimise any marking of the floor material. Increased ball projection to ride over floor imperfections and irregularities. The nylon skate is compliant and has a 1000kg load capacity to handle the most laden shelves. Cantilever shelving is produced in a range of standard leg sizes. So we conveniently machined the standard profiles out in the skate to easily engage with the standard circular or square foot sections of the shelving.
