some years back we bought 10,000 lbs of Hilman rollers
actual number was 10 individual units--each one thousand lbs in weight with load capacity of 880,000 lbs each--- all Hilman products are metric ton rated
they were unused surplus from the local naval shipyard--- in use welded to nuclear reactor containments in surface ships and subs undergoing
---shipbreaking----takeout reactors scale 2.4 to 2.8 million lbs- reactors routed to Hanford or Idaho repository --the rollers allowed transfer to barge
so today i am curious about construction of the popular 10 ton skates and do teardown
main surprise---manufacture is in metric units--12 individual rolls are in the 10 ton dolly each roll 80 mm long with 30 mm diameter
four of these bear full load rating of performing unit--22,000 lbs
actual contact area of 10 ton roller is one square inch--combined contact area of all four laden rolls --thats 22,000 psi--but of course not concentrated in a 1" by 1" square
video link demonstrates home made skates used in moving 5500 lb Mori sl-1 lathe--i am driving truck
