The service life of domestic conveying balls shall not exceed 1 year, and that of imported conveying balls shall not exceed 1.5 years, so as to ensure the safety in use. The use of delivery balls needs to be combined with a fixed ball rack, which can ensure the safety of pregnant women. The conveying ball must pass the explosion-proof and compression test. It takes more than 200 kilograms to bear the load.
