Handling & Use Requirements
Handling & Use Requirements
Equipment must be used within rated load capacities and installed on suitable warehouse flooring. Improper loading, uneven distribution, or use outside intended applications can result in structural failure.
Inspect all shipments upon delivery and note any freight damage before signing. Installation and final configuration should be verified by qualified personnel to ensure safe operation.
Delivery & Freight Shipping
Delivery & Freight Shipping
All equipment ships via LTL or dedicated freight carriers and is delivered curbside or dock-high depending on facility setup. Liftgate service is not included unless specifically requested at the time of quote.
You are responsible for unloading the shipment and must have appropriate equipment (forklift or dock access) available at delivery. Failure to meet delivery requirements may result in re-delivery fees.
Inspect all items upon arrival before signing the Bill of Lading. Any visible damage must be noted at delivery—claims cannot be processed after acceptance without documentation.
Lead times vary based on product type, configuration, and supplier availability. You will receive confirmation of estimated ship dates after order review.

Description
Description
Industrial Ball Transfer Units for Multi-Directional Material Handling
Single Unit Ball Transfers enable smooth omni-directional movement of cartons and flat-bottom loads in conveyors, transfer tables, and workstations. Built with a hardened steel ball in a durable housing, they reduce friction for easy repositioning in any direction. Best for indoor use with stable, flat-bottom products, and not suitable for uneven or high-impact applications.
Applications of Single Unit Ball Transfers
- Conveyor transfer stations
- Transfer ball tables
- Packaging and assembly workstations
- Sheet metal feed tables
- Press brake support systems
- Airport baggage handling systems
- Sortation and distribution systems
- Product rotation stations
- Turntables and directional switches
- Lifting platforms and positioning tables
Key Features
Hardened Steel Ball Construction
- Industrial-grade steel housing incorporates a hardened ball cup for reliable rolling performance and load support.
50 lb Capacity Per Ball
- Each ball transfer unit supports up to 50 lbs under properly distributed loading conditions.
Multi-Directional Product Movement
- Allows loads to move smoothly in any direction for manual positioning, rotation, and transfer operations.
Operating Temperature Up to 212°F
- Suitable for elevated-temperature industrial applications when used with proper lubrication and maintenance procedures.
Low Maintenance Design
- Oil-soaked felt seal helps protect internal rolling components from dirt and contamination.
Flexible Mounting Orientation
- Designed to maintain rolling capability and load-bearing performance in multiple installation positions.
Compact Industrial Design
- Small footprint allows integration into custom transfer tables, conveyor systems, and workstation layouts.

Ball Transfer Spacing Guidelines
Proper ball spacing is critical for stable product movement and load distribution. For products with smooth and uniform undersurfaces such as cartons and cases, determine center-to-center ball spacing by dividing the minimum package dimension by 2.5.
Installation and Operating Considerations
Use Only with Smooth-Bottom Loads
- Ball transfer units perform best with rigid, flat-bottom products. Uneven, flexible, or soft-bottom loads may create instability and inconsistent rolling performance.
Not Intended for High-Impact Applications
- These units are designed for controlled transfer and positioning applications. Repeated impact loading or shock loading will reduce operational life.
Proper Load Distribution Required
- Published load capacities apply only when weight is evenly distributed across multiple ball transfer units.
Indoor Industrial Use Recommended
- Moisture, washdown environments, corrosive exposure, and excessive debris may reduce service life and rolling efficiency.
High-Temperature Applications Require Proper Lubrication
- Applications approaching maximum operating temperatures require appropriate high-temperature lubricants and maintenance intervals.
Important Limitations
- Not designed for powered conveyor drive applications
- Not suitable for uneven or unstable loads
- Not intended for outdoor or washdown environments
- Do not exceed distributed load capacities
- Not intended for personnel movement applications
- Not suitable for shock-loading conditions
- Requires proper ball spacing for safe operation
