Ball table
A ball table is ideal for the manual movement of items in any direction with minimal force. This flexible system is often integrated into conveyor systems, but can also be used independently for specific applications. The ball table is frequently used at workstations and inspection points, where simple and convenient material handling is needed.
For proper functionality, attention is given to the appropriate contact surface of the transported item, ensuring smooth and trouble-free movement. This handling system is suitable for a variety of items, whether it’s construction parts, boxes, or small components. It helps to accelerate and simplify work processes, both in automation systems and in manual handling.

A ball table is a handling surface fitted with ball transfer units that allows objects to be moved easily in all directions with minimal effort. It is suitable for work and inspection stations where operators need to rotate and move boxes, structural parts or smaller components freely. It can be used independently or incorporated into a conveyor line where goods need to be manually directed.
Ball tables are most commonly used where operators manually move or rotate goods, namely at work and inspection stations. They are used in distribution centres, parcel depots and industrial operations. Typical locations include conveyor ends and transitions, packaging and inspection stations or manual transfer points, where the ball surface allows handling with minimal effort.
A wide range of items can be moved on a ball table, from structural parts and boxes to smaller components. The key requirement is a suitable and sufficiently rigid contact surface on the transported item to ensure smooth movement over the balls. For soft, flexible or uneven packaging, it is advisable to consult the design so that handling in all directions remains reliable.
Yes, a ball table can be integrated into an existing conveyor line or operated independently. As a Czech manufacturer, LOGSYS designs and manufactures custom solutions, so the ball surface can be adapted to the dimensions, height and connection to your existing conveyors. This creates a smooth transition between automated transport and the point where the operator manually directs or checks the goods. The specific connection and design are based on the operating layout and the type of goods being handled.
The design and price of a ball table are influenced mainly by the size of the handling surface, the weight and dimensions of the goods being moved and the way the table is incorporated into the operation. The spacing and type of balls, construction material and load capacity, and whether it is a standalone table or part of a conveyor line also play a role. Because LOGSYS designs and manufactures solutions to order, the exact parameters and calculation are based on the required capacity and conditions in your operation. We recommend requesting a non-binding design proposal so that you receive a solution matched to real use.
