Gliderz turn machine feet into low-friction castors

Launched at the 2008 Machine Building Show, Gliderz are a patented design of skate from Components4Machinery (C4MC) that fit beneath machine levelling feet or square-section legs to enable the machine to be moved with ease.

Gliderz turn machine feet into low-friction castors

Available in white, black or blue, with four 420 grade stainless steel balls to provide the motion, the Gliderz are moulded from a nylon compound that includes an antimicrobial agent. They will therefore be very useful in food production areas where machinery needs to be moved for regular cleaning.

Although the Gliderz are currently only available in one size, the moulded surface acts as a socket for various sizes of round and square feet and legs. Tests have shown that each unit can carry 0.5 tonne.

More information, including dimensions, CAD files and prices, are available via the C4MC website.
