The key elements of racks and dryers exposed to corrosion (such as frames, levels, angles or shelves, as well as depot lockers structures) are made of high-quality galvanised steel. During the final stage of production, all elements are subject to automated powder coating. Galvanised steel and a thick layer of coating provide double protection for the products against moisture. In addition, the rack structures have been designed to prevent water accumulation inside the

The main rack and dryer models are available in four different visual options which differ in the design of the front column. The Standard line is featured by a classic anthracite frontside, whilst the MiniPanel line by a modern white panel with a contrasting solid handle. The Panel line is distinguished by a wide, elegant board with an oval stainless-steel handle attached to it; the UniQ line offers unlimited possibilities for the selection of materials, which includes a delicate casing of a wide front column with a comfortable inner handle. The choice of different visual lines enables QBL products to be properly matched to the interior design and character of the facility in which they are used.

QBL products are designed to allow, as much as possible, for the individual components to be adapter to the types and sizes of equipment they store. Thanks to smart functional solutions, adapting the location of the forks, adjusting the mounting height of the levels, shelves or aluminium crossbars is very simple and intuitive. Adjustment systems mean optimal use of the available space – which translates directly into increased storage capacity.

The holding technique is based on the universal three-point system of contact between the surface of the rack and the surface of the skis. The key to the maximum functionality of the system is the optimal proportions of individual structural elements and the angles of their location in relation to each other. Not only do they provide an exceptionally strong hold on the equipment, allowing to use all types and widths of skis (including cross-country), but they are also safe to store without causing unwanted changes to the construction of skis over long periods of use. Designed specifically for the three-point holding system, the aluminium upper crossbars (with their special rubber seal) securely hold skis in the rack – even when they are put away carelessly in a hurry.

Shelves are the main component of some products, but they are also a very useful optional accessory for virtually every model of the rack. Thanks to their design and dimensions, they are perfect for storing helmets, boots and many other accessories. Additionally, the solution of mounting them at a slight angle reduces the risk of equipment falling out when the racks are dynamically moved or collided. With the adjustment systems in the racking columns, the mounting heights of the shelves and the spacing between them can be adapted to the size of the equipment stored. The edges of the shelves have been rounded off to avoid stripping the equipment and to prevent hand injuries when taking boots from the rack. The shelves are made of highquality 1.5mm galvanised steel and are powder-coated.

A post with profiled steel hooks is an optional racking component for hanging ski poles or other accessories. The post is mounted at any height of the columns, at the top of ski racks – most often in situations where skis should be stored together with their poles (e.g. in small ski depots or for private use).

The running system of QBL products includes a rail set or a set of swivel casters. The rail set consists of stainless steel rails 2 or 3mm thick (depending on the length of the racks), connectors, rail endings, and 12 standard bearings attached to each frame of rack or dryer. The design of the rails and the number of bearings used guarantee smooth and safe movement of the products – even when fully loaded. The set of swivel casters includes four durable casters (with a diameter of 75, 80 or 125mm) which are selected according to the needs and the maximum possible load on the structure.

All racks and dryers in the rail system are equipped with a structural frame made of 3mm-thick steel, which is their load-bearing base and ensures the rigidity and stability of the entire system. The frame also acts as a running structure, ensuring safe and even guidance of products on the rails. The frame is double protected against corrosion – it is made of galvanised steel and covered with a layer of powder coating.

The water hood is made of galvanised steel or (optionally) stainless steel with a thickness of 1.5mm, thus maintaining its anti-corrosion properties. It is located on a frame designed with a slight angle of inclination so that dripping water from skis or snowboards does not accumulate but flows away through the hood channel outside the rack and its rail system. The thoughtful design of the water hood not only drains water, but is also a component of the three-point holding system for skis and snowboards.
