Quick Overview

The 0244-500 Ball Transfer Top replaces the flat deck on a Pony Express 1050-EL motorized electric lift cart with a bed of ball transfers. Once a load is sitting on the balls, one person can slide it and spin it in any direction with a light push instead of lifting it and setting it down again. This is the top you add when the cart is a transfer station as much as it is a lift.

It earns its keep at the moment a load has to leave the cart and go onto a conveyor, a machine bed, a press table or a pallet. The 1050-EL raises the deck from 18.5 in off the floor to 64 in, so the operator brings the load level with the receiving surface and then pushes it across on the balls. Nobody drags the load over the gap and nobody lifts it, which is where the shoulder and back strain in transfer work comes from.

The top is built for the 1050-EL, whose usable platform is 43.5 in long and 23 in wide, and Electro Kinetic Technologies makes it to order in Germantown Wisconsin. EKT does not publish a separate load rating for the top, and how much a ball transfer surface will take depends on the base of the load sitting on it, so tell us the weight and the footprint of what you are moving and we will confirm the setup with the factory. The cart itself is rated at 1,000 lb on a flat surface.

Most customers order the top with a new cart. If you already run a 1050-EL, give us the serial number and we will check with EKT whether it can be retrofitted. See also the Pony Express 1050-EL lift cart, the gravity roller conveyor top 0244-505 and the accordion safety skirt 1050-A03.

What does a ball transfer top do?

It turns the deck into a bed of ball transfers, so a load resting on it can be pushed in any direction with very little force. You use it where a load has to come off the cart and onto a conveyor, a machine bed or a table without being lifted across the gap.

Which cart does the 0244-500 fit?

It is built for the Pony Express 1050-EL, whose usable platform is 43.5 in long by 23 in wide. If you already own a 1050-EL, send us the serial number and we will check with the factory about fitting the top to it.

How much weight can I put on the ball transfer top?

Electro Kinetic Technologies does not publish a separate load rating for the top. The 1050-EL itself is rated at 1,000 lb on a flat surface. Because a ball transfer surface carries the load on a set of contact points, the safe figure depends on the base of your load, so send us the weight and the footprint and we will confirm it with the factory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ball transfer top and why would I want one?

It is a deck made of ball transfers instead of flat steel. A load sitting on the balls can be pushed sideways, forward or spun in place with one hand, so an operator moves it off the cart without lifting. On a lift cart it means the deck comes up to the height of the receiving surface and the load simply slides across.

Does it fit my 1050-EL?

It is made for the 1050-EL and its 43.5 in by 23 in usable platform. Ordering it with a new cart is the simplest route. For a cart already in service, send us the serial number and we will get a retrofit answer from Electro Kinetic Technologies before you order.

How much weight will the top hold?

EKT does not publish a rating for the top on its own. The cart is rated at 1,000 lb on a flat surface. Tell us the weight and the base of the load you want to move and we will confirm the right configuration with the factory rather than guess.

Should I get this or the gravity roller conveyor top?

Rollers move a load in one direction along the bed, which suits feeding a fixed conveyor line. Ball transfers move a load in any direction, which suits positioning, rotating and handing off to more than one place. If your loads have to be turned or nudged sideways, the ball transfer top is the one. See the gravity roller conveyor top 0244-505.

What warranty comes with it and how do I order?

It carries the standard Electro Kinetic Technologies limited warranty and it is built to order in the United States. Add it to your cart and check out online, or call us toll free at 1-888-233-5563 and we will place the order and confirm fit with the factory for you.
