Machine Skates vs. Chain Roller
Börkey rollers are made to run on a solid strong surface such as steel. Operating the rollers across concrete floors – especially repeatedly along the same path - may damage the floor.
Each type of skate has a different application range. Know which roller to use for which application:
 |
 |
|
| Floor Protective | Floor protective | May scratch if not strong solid floor such as steel |
| Speed | High speed (max 300 ft / min) | Low speed (max 16 ft / min) |
| Durability | Higher wear of roller material | Extremely high durability & longevity |
| Capacity | Up to medium size loads (up to 200 tons) | Up to super large loads (up to 2000 tons) |
| Use | Temporary use only | Long-term and Permanent mounted use |
| Maneuverability | Freely steerable | Turnable (smaller units), Can run in long-radius arch (larger units) |
