The opening is 5.5 inches or 13.5 cm across. The average male palm width is 3.3 inches. This enables 4 balls to be picked at once even with large hands.
The Kollectaball has two height positions so the height is adjustable; the highest height is 35inch and the lowest 33inch. These are based around the comfortable heights for the average person.
When using any ball collector it should be light and easy to manoeuvre, these two aspects are crucial for the health of the operator. Kollectaball weighs only 3.5 Kg empty and most importantly when collecting balls there is no stress on the wrist or back areas, which can result in repetitive strain injury.
The clever design enables the changing over of a cage in seconds, so for use with more balls simply use two or three cages then the capacity becomes 120 or 180 balls or more.
The 60 wires on the Kollectaball cage are manufactured using the most advanced wire technology available. Originally developed for use in agriculture for collecting fruit and nuts in different ground conditions they have been in use for years in the market without fault. Durability tests on concrete surfaces have been extensive over thousands of hours of rolling. Wire durability when used for collecting tennis balls on all surface types is not an issue of concern with Kollectaball – they will last years.
