New and improved design!
Welded support rails offer added strength and stability and side frames include holes to adjust the top two rails for holding larger diameter bats (see inset photos above).

This strong steel cart glides on 4" diameter rubber swivel casters and is a great place to store your unused bats. Once in place the casters can be locked to prevent rolling. It holds up to 90 - 14" bats, with adjustable shelves for almost any size bat and a top shelf that can be used on a ware cart. And to keep them securely in place, the Batmobile includes the Brent BatBrace (see photo). Acting like a "bookend", the BatBrace keeps up to 50 12" or 14" Plasti-bats from sliding. BatBrace also sold individually if more than one is desired, click here for more information.

Bats (shown in photo) not included in price.

Creative Industries' trademarked "Easy Lift Rim" makes it easy to remove the bat from the wheelhead in one smooth motion without disturbing, rocking or tipping your new work. These injection-molded plastic bats are easy to maintain and long-lasting in use, while holding their original shape and size. As an additional feature, their unique "bat ribs" easily grab onto clay rings for throwing on wheel heads without bat pins.

These popular, smaller square bats save room on your studio shelves (or on your ware carts) so you can use the space more efficiently to store more pieces. They offer the same features as the larger Creative Industries bats.

NorthStar has discontinued their wheel bats made of Duron and Masonite in favor of Medex.

Medex Bats are composed of a wood product without formaldehyde, 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch thick. Medex handles clay like wood or Duron, with the additional benefits of being waterproof, warp-proof, and extremely strong. A 3/8-inch Medex bat 18" wide can support up to 350 pounds of clay! Medex also will not degrade like particle board. More expensive but PERMANENT.

Plaster Drying Bats are an important part of the process if you reclaim clay from slurry, scraps, or "oops" moments on the wheel. You can also use them to dry your work with less chance of cracking at the bases. With reasonable care, these drying bats can last for several years of use. These bats measure 19" x 14" x 2-1/2" to give you lots of working room.

• Performance similar to plaster bats.
• No need to cut your pieces off with wire or string: when the clay is leather hard, it just separates from the bat.
• Drilled for standard bat pins, but not drilled through: no holes in the surface.
• Sealed wood product does not swell when wet.

Make one measurement and you have its opposite immediately. Does the work of two standard calipers with greater speed, ease, and accuracy.
