QBL Storage Systems

FOUR PRODUCT LINES

Different design variants.

There are four diverse and individual lines of racks and dryers that differs in front sides. The selection includes grey narrow post (Standard line), elegant white panel with a thick grey handle (MiniPanel line), wide modern panel with a light stainless steel handle (Panel line) and customized front with unlimited decor variants to be chosen from with a side grip system (UniQ line).

THE FRAME

Rigidity & confidence.

All racks and boot dryers for rail system are equipped with a frame which forms the rigid base structure, but also serves as a mobile construction. The frame is twofold protected – by using zinc and powder coatings.

DOUBLE PROTECTION

Galvanized steel & powder coating.

Structural parts of racks, dryers and lockers exposed to corrosion such as columns, angle brackets, shelves or forks for poles are made of high quality galvanized steel DX51D Z275. At the final stage of production, they are powder coated. Each part was designed to ensure easy drain of water from the rack

MOBILE RACKING SYSTEM

Easy and smooth movement.

QBL mobile racking system consists of stainless rails 2 or 3 mm thick (depending on the size of a rack), connectors, rail endings and 12 bearings attached to each frame. This is an efficient and easy-to-handle system that ensures smooth sliding of racks and dryers, even if they are fully loaded. All racks and dryers may also contain feet supports or swivel casters underneath.

ADJUSTMENT SYSTEMS

Optimal space arrangement.

Thanks to a smart design of racks it is possible to easily and quickly change the position of basic components for storing winter sports gear. Regulated height of shelves, aluminium ski crossbars, steel levels and position of forks can be perfectly adjusted to the size of the equipment stored.

FUNCTIONAL SHELVES

More storage possibilities.

Some models of racks have higher columns with shelves that are designed to store accessories, such as helmets, bindings or junior boots (up to size 24,5). Shelves are made of high quality galvanized steel DX51D Z275 and powder-coated, which protects them from dirt, sharp elements attached to soles of ski boots and melting snow. Shelves are slightly angled toward the inside of a rack to mitigate risk of the gear falling out when racks are moved dynamically or collide. The height, on which shelves are fixed and spaces between them, can be adjusted to the size of the accessories to be stored. Edges of shelves are rounded to ensure that sharp endings do not scratch equipment or hurt hands during placement or removal of gear.

Grip of skis: CLIQ SKI HOLDER

Smart & super-efficient.

The operation of the CLiQ is based on three precisely designed parts, i.e. construction cover, clamping arms and pressure unit. The cover is a supporting element. Its front side is diagonal to enable to store skis at an angle of 22° to the rack axis and to ensure attractive display and increased storage capacity. Thanks to the use of a mounting foot at the base of the cover, fixing it to a steel or aluminium crossbar is fast and convenient. The clamping arms are responsible for firm and safe grip; When in use, the surface of the arms is in direct contact with ski edges and causes friction. Due to higher exposure to damage, the clamping arms are extremely rigid and durable. Ends of the arms have a special shape to ensure better contact with the surface of the skis and to speed up the arm-opening mechanism when pulling the skis out of the holder. The key element is the pressure unit. It is covered with a special rubber structure, so the spring mechanism runs smoothly and with an appropriate plasticity, while the holder is durable and resistant. When skis are pressed the rubber immediately transfers power to the spring, which automatically closes the rotating clamping arms to completely and effectively hide the skis in the holder. The open-close mechanism is therefore extremely strong and dynamic. The rubber which is in direct contact with the surface of the skis is also designed to protect them from shocks and damage.
There are two sizes of the holder: Standard model: opening width 106 mm (for skis up to 90 mm*) and X-Large model: opening width 126 mm (for skis up to 110 mm*).

Grip of skis: 3-POINT SYSTEM

Versatile & super-firm.

The grip is based on three-point system of rack-ski contact. Appropriate proportions and angles of all structural parts are extremely important – they ensure strong grip and do not cause undesired changes in ski structure (when three contact points are improperly situated, ski start to bend and deform if stored for a long time). Aluminium upper crossbars, along with a rubber seal and steel bottom crossbar, covered with an anti-slip rubber coat, ensure that skis are held exceptionally tightly – even if angled. Putting skis back is very quick and secure, even if it is done carelessly and in rush. Thanks to the carefully designed three-point contact system in combination with a wide range of crossbar height adjustment options, Easy Racks can be used to store any kinds of skis including All Mountain, twin-tip and cross-country, as well as snowboards.

Grip of skis: FORK SYSTEM

Safe & Super-capacious.

The Racks offer special forks for storing skis, fixed on two steel horizontal levels that connect both columns. Forks are covered with an anti-slip rubber coat which effectively protects the surface from scratches. Forks are slightly angled toward the inside of a rack to mitigate risk of the equipment falling out when racks are moved dynamically or collide. Ski forks can be fixed anywhere along levels, which ensures that rack capacity is increased to a maximum and can be adjusted to types and sizes of the skis stored. Each fork can accommodate up to 3 pairs of adult skis.

POST WITH HOOKS FOR POLES

Option dedicated to ski depot.

The post with hooks for poles is an optional construction element of the ski rack, which is screwed to the columns. It is used in situations where skis should be stored with their corresponding poles – e.g. in small ski depots.

FORK FOR POLES

Simple two-arm solution.

Solution for storing poles is based on steel crossbars with special forks made of galvanized steel. The crossbar has 4 levels of openings for forks, which means that the rack is really capacious and forks can be fixed anywhere along the crossbar. A steel fork can accommodate up to 4 pairs of poles and ends with a plastic element available in different colours that correspond to indications of the rental poles.

SINGLE FORK

Meeting multiple storage needs.

For various storage needs, including snowshoes, snowboard bindings and ski poles, a universal single fork has been designed. The 22 mm diameter steel tube has an extended end to prevent the equipment from falling out. The forks are placed on the steel crossbar of the rack into the holes designed for ski poles forks so that both types of forks can be used interchangeably. Single forks can be put on different crossbar levels to suit the length of stored objects.

Grip of snowboards: VERTICAL SYSTEM

Great storage capacity for boards with rental bindings.

Snowboards are placed in a vertical position, leant against a galvanized hood and held by aluminium crossbars with special plastic grips. Blue grips are arranged in equal small distance from one another so that the capacity of the rack is incredibly large and the rental space is used really efficiently. Regulated position of aluminium crossbars allows storing snowboards of different types and sizes.

Grip of snowboards: HORIZONTAL SYSTEM

Traditional versatile storage solution.

This traditional solution enables the storage of snowboards with both classic and rental bindings. Boards are placed horizontally on special forks attached to two vertical columns. The surface of the forks is covered with a special anti-slip rubber coat to guarantee stability and safety of the stored gear. The forks can be mounted on different levels of the columns in order to provide the best use of space, according to one’s needs and preferences.

STEEL BASKET

Multifunctional space.

Large box located on the rack’s frame is made of galvanized, grated steel and is designed to store rental bindings, helmets or other types of gear. The inside of the basket is usually open, but can be also divided into a few compartments.

WATER HOOD

Gear keeping and water drainage.

Frame has a slight angle of inclination to ensure that water dripping from skis and snowboards flows down to the side. On the frame there is a galvanized hood made of high quality steel DX51D Z275 or stainless steel designed in such a way that water does not accumulate and drains away beyond the railing system of racks, which prevents edges from corroding.

WATER TUB IN THE FRAME

Comfort of a dry floor.

Racks and dryers with an open frame can be optionally equipped with a special steel tub which collects the water dripping from the gear stored on the rack or dryer. Due to the perfect fit of the tub design with the frame of the rack or the dryer, the tub can be easily removed and emptied.

BIKE GRIP SYSTEM

Complex solution dedicated to bike depots.

Thanks to the unique, carefully planned design of the rack, it is possible to store bikes in an optimal way considering space utilisation, as they are hung vertically on the top grips. Frame-mounted structure elements stabilise the rear wheel of the bike, preventing it from tilting horizontally. The top grips hold the front wheels in turned position for better stability and storage safety. Bicycles on both sides of the rack do not touch each other and the distances between bicycles in one row are kept to a minimum, providing exceptional capacity. The structure of the rack allows for a quick and easy adjustment of the posts and grips to the size of the stored bicycles.

DRYERS: TOUCHSCREEN

Pure convenience and user-friendliness.

The double-sided boot dryers are operated via 5” touch screen that is built into the side wall of the main control unit. Large, responsive screen and modern Menu app make it easy and user-friendly to manage all available functions of the device. The communication between the user and one-sided dryers happens via 3.2” touch screen. Menu is available in six languages. A screen-locking function is also available to prevent unauthorised use of the equipment.

DRYERS: ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM

Energy efficiency through convenient control over multiple functions.

Electronic control system of the dryers allows for an effective control over their operation and managing respective functions of the device such as heating temperature or a timer. Two-sided dryers are divided into three segments. Operation of each segment can be controlled individually by setting one of the three modes of work: Fan operation mode, Fan operation mode with heaters and Operation mode according to specific time intervals. The timer function enables you to set individual operating modes for each hour of each day of the week separately. Electronic control system adjusts the operation of the device to the needs of its user, increasing the efficiency of drying and energy savings.

DRYERS: NOZZLE SYSTEM

Increased drying efficiency and energy saving.

Tubes with Open-Close Arms on which boots are stored end with specially designed endings with a spring that open air supply only when a boot is placed on the arm. The nozzle solution is used to protect the air from inefficient release (energy waste). Additional openings at the base of the arms inject the air into the upper part of boots.

DRYERS: RELIABLE ELECTRICAL PROTECTION

Safety of use.

Each boot dryer is thermally protected against overheating (it is possible to reset the settings without the replacement of particular units) and has protection against electric shock. All QBL dryers and all their units have the EC Declaration of Conformity.

DRYERS: DISINFECTION SYSTEM

Proven and complex germicidal solution.

Boot dryer can be also equipped with internal (embedded) system of disinfection or ionising germicidal lamp. Embedded system of disinfection is composed of a tank, pump and a few nozzles that spray particles of disinfectant inside each segment of the dryer. The particles with the air are then flowing to boots. Disinfection system works only when fans are operating.

DRYERS: SHELVES WITH BUILT-IN HEATING

Air flowing down from the shelves.

The drying system includes modules that consist of a fan and a heater, which are built into boot shelves. The bottom surface of the shelf has numerous openings so that heated air is blown into the boots on the shelf below. Apart from drying, dryers with this specific heating system function as a rack for storing boots. The modules are present in 9 out of 11 shelves of Boot Dryers Wind.
