YOUR SLING AND RIGGING SPECIALISTHilman RollersGUIDELINES FOR SELECTING THE PROPER MODEL1. How much does the load weigh?2. How many contact points does the load have? The Hilman rollers are rated in metric tons. Divide thenumber of contact points into the total load to determine the capacity of individual rollers. Determine if the loadis equally distributed or unbalanced. If unbalanced, some rollers may carry more load and some less.3. What is the rolling surface and its condition? The rolling surface should be hard and level, and free of debris.Where the surface is not hard such as asphalt or dirt, a track or steel plate can be used as the rollingsurface. If the surface is not level, there must be a hold-back system on the load to brake and control it. If thefloor is composed of a delicate surface, then specify Nyton rollers which are coated to soften the roller contact.4. Are there turns involved or is it a straight line move? If there are turns, rollers with swivels or swivels with alocking top are suggested. If no turns, then a rigid style top is fine.Rollers are available in sizes ranging from 1/2 to 3,000 tons. Riggers kits which consist of four rollers, steeringhandles and various tops are available if moving loads with rollers is a common task. The kit comes completewith a locking steel box. A riggers set is the same as a kit without the steel box.HILMAN DELUXE KITS• Steel or Nyton Chain14 guagesteelcarryingcaseMove and position all types of heavy equipmentHilman Rollersprovide maximumturning optionsRaised base preventscorrosion andprovides forkliftloadingTwo full-length steeringhandles knock-downfor storageHEADQUARTERS: 55 James E.
