Storage Rack for Gym Floor Covers - CoverMate II

There will be times when you need to use your gym as a gym. Therefore, gym floor covers will be removed and stored until the next use. What is the best way to store them, such that they still keep their shape, color and cleanliness?

Many customers who purchase gym floor covers ask about the best storage option possible. Today your best option is CoverMate II. It's a gym floor cover storage rack that can be configured with 6, 8 or 10 rollers (3, 4 or 5 on each side).

First of all, constantly folding a gym floor cover will lead to the formation of creases. Eventually, the cover will not lay flat and can lead to a hazardous situation during most events, especially dances or ceremonies. In order to prevent tripping in the future, your covers should be stored rolled up.

Secondly, when you fold a gym floor cover, you have no choice but to lift it and place it on a dolly or handcart. It is not completely safe and can impose several health hazards. If covers are folded, it is very hard to lift large sections – not many people can handle this much weight, so don’t make your staff do the backbreaking work.

Using a storage rack like the Ultima Series CoverMate II is the ideal way to keep your investment in excellent condition. It means your covers will be rolled up on separate rollers, not folded.

These are some of the CoverMate II features:

Extendable Safety Outriggers

The bright orange outriggers are key to the safety aspect of CoverMate II. In their extended position it is virtually impossible for the system to be tipped over. And because the outriggers run on their own casters, CoverMate II can be moved about the gym with ease.

Powder Coated Tubular Frame

CoverMate II gets its robust strength from the rectangular frame made from 1 1/2" and 2" tubular steel. Powder coated in a rich silvery color, the entire system is as pleasing to the eye as it is outstanding in its performance and ease of use.

Non-marking Casters

Each of the six Colson brand casters on CoverMate II feature 3/4” thick non-marking Santoprene® SofTreads which are designed specifically for hardwood gymnasium floors. These noiseless, smooth running treads are a key feature of the precision engineered, ball bearing casters. Competitive casters are less then half the thickness of CoverMate II’s.

Roller Brackets

The patented, rubber mounted, polycarbonate roller brackets feature Delrin roller bearings. Their smooth action allows each cover section to roll on and off CoverMate II with a minimum of effort. A safety bolt prevents roller 'pop-ups' during cover removal while not interfering with the free turning of the roller.

Hand Cranks

CoverMate II comes with two portable hand cranks. These one-piece cranks are made of incredibly strong Lexan polycarbonate for heavy duty use. The long slotted mouthpiece fits snugly into the roller for a secure fit and positive cranking action. If dropped accidentally, it will not damage hardwood floors.

Roller Clips

The specially molded, push-on QuickClips are made of flexible plastic to avoid possible injury. The plastic clips quickly attach the cover sections to their rollers. Just hold the cover against the roller, then slide the clip down and over until it locks in place. The cover is now ready to be rolled back up.

Foot Lock

Custom engineered, this patent pending, foot operated anchoring device locks CoverMate II in place. Simply push the square pedal down to lock. To unlock, just step on the release. There are two foot locks, one on either end. No need to search for caster brakes, as the locks are bolted to the frame.

Roller Collar

Each cover roller is fitted with a yellow safety collar to prevent sideways movement of the roller. The collar also guards against the possibility that fingers get caught in between the roller and the bracket. Note the safety bolt above the roller that prevents roller 'pop-up' during use.
