Overview

Pony Express ball transfer top with rows of steel ball casters, shown fitted to a Pony Express electric scissor lift cart

The 0244-500 Ball Transfer Top turns the deck of a Pony Express 1050-EL lift cart into a ball transfer surface, so one person can slide and spin a load in any direction instead of lifting it. Built to order by Electro Kinetic Technologies for the 43.5 in by 23 in 1050-EL platform.

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 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 on the balls can be pushed forward, sideways or spun in place with a light push, so an operator moves it off the cart without lifting it. On the 1050-EL the deck rises to the height of the receiving surface and the load slides across.

Where is a ball transfer top most useful?

At the handoff from cart to a conveyor, machine bed, press table or pallet. The 1050-EL raises the deck from 18.5 in to 64 in off the floor, so the operator brings the load level with the receiving surface and pushes it across instead of lifting or dragging it over the gap.

Does the 0244-500 fit my 1050-EL?

It is made for the Pony Express 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, EKT checks the serial number to confirm a retrofit.

How much weight will the ball transfer top hold?

EKT does not publish a separate rating for the top. The 1050-EL cart is rated at 1,000 lb on a flat surface, and how much a ball transfer surface takes depends on the base of the load sitting on it, so the factory confirms the setup from the load weight and footprint.

Should I get the ball transfer top 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 loads have to be turned or nudged sideways, choose the ball transfer top 0244-500.

Where is the 0244-500 made?

Electro Kinetic Technologies builds it to order at its factory in Germantown, Wisconsin, USA.
