Rolkowe

Rolkowe is a Polish adjective used to describe things that relate to rollers or a roller-based system. It is formed from the noun rolka or from the stem rol-, with the usual adjectival endings. In Polish, the form rolkowe is used for neuter singular or plural nouns, while other gendered forms such as rolkowy (masc sing) or rolkowa (fem sing) exist. The exact sense of the term depends on the noun it modifies.

In technical and industrial usage, rolkowe terms appear in phrases describing equipment and systems that rely on rollers. Common examples include napęd rolkowy (roller drive), przenośnik rolkowy (roller conveyor), and system rolkowy (roller-based system). These terms are used in manufacturing, warehousing, and materials handling to denote mechanisms where cylindrical rollers support, move, or guide goods.

In the realm of sport and recreation, the expression sporty rolkowe is used to refer to roller sports in general, including activities such as inline skating, roller hockey, and roller derby. The term helps distinguish rolling disciplines from other forms of skating or cycling.

Beyond these domains, rolkowe can appear in compound terms related to film or printing when describing things associated with rolls or reels, although in modern usage such meanings are less common and more context-dependent.
