Description
The Börkey 80-Ton Low-Profile Machine Roller is a powerful solution designed for transporting heavy loads with ease and reliability. Engineered for static load bearing over months and capable of handling short-distance rolling, this machine roller is ideal for intermittent movement, even after long periods of standstill under heavy loads. Whether used in scaffolding, steel erecting, mining, or general construction, the low-profile, bolt-on design ensures smooth and efficient operation. Made in Germany, the Börkey machine roller is crafted with precision to withstand the most demanding industrial applications.
Built with a robust interlocking carbon steel frame and a hardened steel center plate, this roller delivers maximum durability. The load wheels are hardened, and all components are protected with corrosion-resistant materials, including blackened wheels, a zinc-phosphate coated frame, and galvanized axles and links. This superior construction ensures that the roller performs reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering long-term operational efficiency.

Additional Information
- Maximum safe speed: 16 feet per minute.
- Minimum turning radius: 10 feet.
- Rolling resistance on solid surfaces such as steel ranges from 5-7% of load weight for sizes #1-3 and 3-5% for sizes #4-6.
- For best results, use rollers on solid, strong surfaces like steel tracks or crane rails. Operating on concrete floors may cause wear and damage after repeated use along the same path.
- To prevent damage on tile, concrete, or tarmac, place a steel plate of at least 0.4 inches thickness underneath the load during movement.
- Choosing larger wheel diameters reduces rolling resistance and avoids floor scratching. For concrete floors, select size #3 rollers with a 1.2-inch/30mm wheel diameter or larger.
- Precautionary measures must be taken when using machine rollers on inclines to prevent runaway loads.
- Ensure the load is evenly distributed when using multiple rollers to prevent tipping and point-loading issues.
