When it comes to material handling, every square foot counts. Facilities across manufacturing, logistics, and military sectors are constantly balancing the need to move more product with the limitations of physical space. But with the right system design, you don’t have to choose between space efficiency and operational flow—you can have both.
B&T Bearing, a division of JanTec Incorporated, offers engineered solutions that help businesses reclaim floor space while maintaining safety, speed, and control.
One of the most effective tools in space optimization is the Pop-Up Stop. These low-profile units remain flush with the system until activated, providing cargo control without the bulk of traditional fixed stops. Their retractable design supports dynamic layouts and flexible workflows, especially in modular workstations or zones requiring intermittent halts.
Another key area where space savings often go overlooked is in transfer efficiency. Ball Transfer Units (BTUs) allow for smooth, multi-directional movement without the need for long, curved conveyors or wide turning points. This compact, high-precision solution is ideal for confined cell setups, improving flow in areas where square footage is limited.
Then there’s the backbone of many handling systems: Conveyor Rollers. At B&T Bearing, we offer a wide selection—from light-duty PVC rollers to heavy-duty steel and impact-resistant options. These rollers are not only built for durability but also help reduce the footprint of your system by delivering smooth, low-friction transport with minimal maintenance. Whether you’re designing a new line or retrofitting an existing layout, our rollers can be configured to fit your exact requirements—without compromising output.
Space is more than just a measurement—it’s a resource. Optimizing it means reducing clutter, avoiding unnecessary expansion costs, and improving safety for every team member on the floor.
If your layout feels cramped or inefficient, it may be time to rethink your approach. With compact, customizable components from B&T Bearing, you can create a system that maximizes every inch—without slowing production down.
