WHAT ARE MACHINE SKATES & LOAD MOVING SKATES?
Machine skates are wheeled carts used to lift and move large, heavy machinery.
They come in a variety of different versions, depending on what type of equipment you are handling, including hydraulic furniture movers and lifting systems which eliminates physical effort when raising very heavy equipment off the floor. Using this type of load moving skates are beneficial as only one operator is required, and can be operated with ease ensuring a safe lifting procedure for you and your team.
When transporting loads of up to 20 - 60 tonnes, caterpillar load moving skate sets are the ideal choice to provide great stability and load steering, with anti-slip rubber protection to help prevent the load from moving in transit and being damaged.
Other popular load moving skates include adjustable skates, machine moving kits and container moving skates sets.
HOW TO USE MACHINE SKATES & LOAD MOVING SKATES?
Simply slide the toe of the transportation unit under each end and make sure your load is secure via 5m ratchet straps, to ensure the piece of equipment you are lifting is secure.
Next, lift both sides to allow all four wheels to touch the floor before pushing the items in your desired direction.
Machine moving skates are great for irregularly shaped loads and provide versatility when dealing with odd-shaped items.
Please always make sure that when you're using them to move your goods that it's the right weight capacity and it's on a clear floor so you avoid injury and any damage to yours or your customer's goods.
