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.

• Shipping weight 60 lbs (UPS available)
• Dimensions 42"w by 35"h by 14"d

Plasti-Bats were designed by studio potters to be versatile, long-lasting, and practically indestructible. Made of rigid high-impact plastic, they will not shrink, splinter, delaminate or swell even in continuous use. They're easy to clear, and impervious to water and most chemicals. The surface is a non-absorbent, positive adherence surface that does not allow clay to slide or turn loose while centering. All that, and they're lightweight and easy to carry, stack or store, too.

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 brought back the
Super Star Bats!

HDPE (Blue) Plastic Bats are 3/8 inch thick, matte finish on both sides to hold and release clay more easily. Standard drill is two holes 10 inch center-to-center to fit Brent, new Pacificia, Soldner and many others.

• Same orange peel texture for clay adhesion
• Same non-brittle HDPE
• Convenient sizes for easy on and off
• New 3/8" thickness for bigger pots and no warping

NorthStar's Universal Bat System saves a great amount of shelf space when making pieces with small footprints. The outer bat is Medex, 1/2" thick and 13" wide, and the inserts are 1/4" Duron which sit 1/8" above the outer bat. The inserts measure 5-1/2" square. Inserts remove easily from the outer bat, yet fit snugly enough that the cavity stays clean.

Hydrobats are made of gypsum cement ten times stronger than conventional plaster, but with a similar water absorption rate. Two hard rubber grommets in the bottom assure snug fits on wheels with standard (10") pin spacing. Larger and smaller sizes of Hydrobats are available: please call or email us for more information.

Hydro-Bat Adapter is designed to use 8.5" and 10" Hydrobats that are too small to fit on regular wheelhead bat pins that are spaced 10" apart. The adapter is made of a sturdy polyethelene plastic with drilled holes to fit on standard wheel heads. Great for making multiples of small items like cups and bowls.

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.
