Superior Performance & Durability
Our Ball Transfer Units (BTUs) are engineered to simplify heavy load movement with seamless, omni-directional maneuverability. When strategically arranged, they can support loads of up to 500 lbs. (226 kg), ensuring efficient material handling across various applications. For custom arrangement designs, our technical experts are available to assist.
Why Are B&T Bearing BTUs Superior?
Backed by years of industry success, B&T Bearing BTUs consistently outperform the competition—delivering unmatched longevity and strength. Unlike standard ball transfer units, our BTUs feature a one-piece hardened bearing cup, eliminating the risk of internal cracks or structural failure. This robust design provides exceptional load support, making them the preferred choice for high-impact and high-volume environments.
Proven Performance & Industry Trust
Our BTUs are trusted by leading industries for their durability and reliability. In a real-world comparison test, a major user placed 200 BTUs from B&T Bearing and two competing manufacturers in a high-traffic area. After 30 days, one competitor experienced 65 failures, another had 40 failures, while B&T Bearing had 0 failures—a testament to our exceptional quality and longevity.
Versatile, Outdoor-Ready & Military Approved
Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, our BTUs now include an advanced multi-drain hole design, allowing for efficient dirt and debris elimination. This innovation has been approved for military applications, further reinforcing our commitment to performance and reliability. Our product lineup includes zinc-plated and full stainless steel units, ensuring optimal performance in even the harshest environments.
