Product Guides & Documents
Which Machine Roller for which application?
Use Standard Duty Rollers for short term projects such as Machinery Moving:
Use Heavy Duty Rollers for medium-term projects such as steel erecting, general construction or machine fabrication:
Use Super Duty Rollers for permanantly loaded or long-term loaded loads for projects such as bridge construction, structure repositioning, machine and equipment repositioning, or in marine and offshore applications.
Use Ultra Duty Rollers for loads that roll frequently such as gantry cranes, rotating machinery or container hoisting.
All machine rollers look the same. What are the differences?
A Börkey Machine Roller is available in many variations as every Börkey Roller can be built to best match a specific application. Starting with a base roller construction, each component can be upgraded to improve durability, reliability and functionality. The highest possible quality may certainly be required when moving a nuclear reactor, but not every application calls for the most expensive machine roller configuration as each component upgrade increases the cost.
It is important to remember that the roller selection should always exceed the application requirements for safety and usability, however, consider selecting a cost-effective machine roller configuration that makes economic sense in relation to the application. Hence Börkey has created different levels of quality to suit different application requirements.
The graphic below provides a clear understanding of each quality aspect of a roller and will show which features – including component upgrades and construction methods – are included on which roller models.

Rolling Resistance of Machine Rollers
Roller Size affect on Rolling Resistance
Rollers with fewer, larger diameter wheels will roll more easily than those with more, but smaller wheels.
Wheel Sizes
Wheel size increases with roller size. Larger diameter wheels have lower rolling resistance and will consequantly roll more easily.
Weather & Corrosion Resistance
The steel components of the rollers will naturally develop surface rust in weather. Minor surface rust does not decrease the performance.
More details:
Standard, included. Short-term outdoor use
Frame zinc-phosphate coated, nylon wheels, roller chain (load wheels, axles and links) galvanized.
Considerations When Choosing Roller Capacity
Machine Rollers should ideally be used on solid surfaces such as steel, so the weight is equally divided across each load wheel.
When operating 4 machine rollers on uneven surfaces such as concrete, select a roller with double the mathematical roller capacity to safeguard against overloading due to the load rocking and shifting. If operating more than 4 machine rollers, carefully select suitable roller capacity to prevent overloading in case load rocks on uneven surfaces and shifts weight.
SOLID/SMOOTH SURFACE or TRACK
Example: An equally distributed load of 40 tons, translates into 20 tons to be supported on each side
Capacity needed: 10 tons each machine roller
IMPERFECT/TEXTURED SURFACE
If the load rocks on an uneven surface, one roller loses contact with the load and the weight shifts to the closest roller
Capacity needed is doubled: 20 tons each machine roller
Additional Considerations
Wheels can be point-loaded when travelling over recesses and uneven surfaces ... or when hitting an obstacle
Side forces such as wind may cause uneven weight distribution on rollers resulting in possible side/ overloading
Consider selecting higher capacity machine rollers to offset the hazards of point-loads, uneven weight distribution, and side forces.
How is “Load Capacity” really rated ?
Börkey machine rollers can be used at the full rated capacity in the field.
The rollers have additional safety capacity.
The rollers have additional safety capacity.
Individual machine roller capacities are calculated based on moving the load across a solid level & smooth surface so that all load wheels are touching the floor and distributing the weight equally.

Description
Machine Roller Information
Model Series:
- U.S. Model Series: KL - Kit
- Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): N - PA6 - Kit
- Manufacturer product name: Roller Skate - The Solids
- For concrete floors
- Ideal for machinery installation and maintenance, and material handling applications when rollers are loaded and off-loaded frequently and when loads are rolled over short distances.
Wheels
- Outfitted with Nylon Wheels on a steel chain. Nylon wheels provide floor protection against scratching of floors. Steel wheels in comparison which are found on traditional machine rollers tend to scratch floors such as concrete. The scratching occurs when multiple rollers are not aligned or when the rollers are turned. Nylon wheels prevent this from happenning.
Features:
- Use as straight-line, low profile rollers where low height is required. Low height also minimizes required lifting to place loads onto machine rollers.
- Use with optional swivel tops and turning handles for turnability
- Non-mounted: Machine rollers can be moved from job to job
- Rollers are versatile and multi-purpose
- Can be combined to form a complete transport kit
Swivel top styles (optional):
- Smaller model sizes #1-3 are outfitted with anti-slip padded tops
- Larger model sizes #4-5 are outfitted with steel spike grid top
Included:

Other specs:
- Maximum safe speed: 16 feet per minute
- Rolling resistance varies greatly with floor type and condition.
Other Important Information:
- When using 4 (or more) rollers, load may rock on uneven surface, increasing load weight applied to any roller. If using 4 rollers, select rollers with double the capacity.
- Machine Rollers with larger diameter wheels will roll more easily than those with smaller wheels. Problems such as high rolling resistance on certain surface conditions can be avoided by choosing roller models with a larger load wheels.
- Precautionary measures must be taken for use on inclines to avoid run-away loads!
- When mixing and matching rollers, assure that all rollers are at the same height. Otherwise rollers will tip and consequently become point loaded and overloaded.
