This was because they could handle the high temperature, dust, scale and shock loading of this application.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the heavy duty casters would not allow instant directional change due to the offset in the castor forks, or castor \u2018trail\u2019. Although conventional light-duty ball units existed at the time, they could not handle the load drums whilst withstanding high temperatures and offer instant directional change.<\/p>\n<p>The Omnitrack heavy duty ball transfer unit (OTSF 4070) was first developed with an initial load capacity of 2000 kg\/4480 lbs operating at a temperature of 150 degrees centigrade (300 degrees Fahrenheit). Those original units were in operation until the plant closed in 1972. Subsequently developed into what is now the 9250.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"row cpn-section\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"row cpn-section pb-5\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<h2>Knowledge base \u2013 Applications<\/h2>\n<h3>What Are Some Heavy Duty Ball Transfer Unit Applications?<\/h3>\n<p>Torpedo\/warhead handling in military applications, air, sea and subsea applications.
