3-12 Tonne Steerable Skates: The Ultimate Solution for Moving Heavy Objects with Precision

In industrial settings, warehouses, and construction sites, moving large and heavy objects is a common, yet challenging task. Whether it’s machinery, equipment, or construction materials, relocating bulky items requires the right tools to ensure safety, efficiency, and precision. The 3-12 Tonne Steerable Skates are designed to meet these demands, offering a highly effective solution for transporting heavy loads with ease, even around tight corners.

What are Steerable Skates?

Steerable skates are specialised material-handling equipment used to move extremely heavy loads across flat surfaces. These skates are equipped with a unique design that allows for both ease of movement and precision steering, making them ideal for moving large items in confined spaces or complex environments.

The 3-12 Tonne Steerable Skates can support heavy loads ranging from 3 tonnes to a whopping 12 tonnes, ensuring that even the most massive machinery or equipment can be moved safely and efficiently. The key feature of these skates is their ability to provide precise control and manoeuvrability, allowing users to navigate corners and tight spaces without the need for additional lifting equipment.

Designed for Heavy Loads

The 3-12 Tonne Steerable Skates can handle substantial weight. With capacities of 3 tonnes to 12 tonnes, they can safely transport machinery, engines, large generators, industrial equipment, and other heavy items across various industrial environments. This wide weight range ensures that the skates can be adapted to different jobs, from small to large, while maintaining high levels of safety and stability.

The heavy-duty construction of these skates ensures that they can support and distribute the load evenly across the rollers, reducing the risk of damage to the load or the floor. This makes them a must-have tool in any facility that requires frequent movement of heavy equipment.

Precision Steering with the Drawbar

One of the standout features of the 3-12 Tonne Steerable Skates is their precision steering mechanism. These skates come with a one-metre-long drawbar, which allows operators to easily guide the load in any direction. The drawbar gives users full control over the movement of the load, making it easier to manoeuvre heavy equipment around obstacles or through tight spaces.

This feature is especially important in environments where space is limited, such as warehouses or construction sites, where large equipment needs to be moved within narrow aisles or around corners. The drawbar’s length and flexibility provide the control needed to position and move the load with ease.

Easy Movement with Swivelling Platform

The 3-12 Tonne Steerable Skates are designed to provide the ultimate ease of movement. The rubber-padded platform of the skates swivels on a thrust bearing, allowing for effortless movement in all directions, including around corners. This ensures smooth, efficient operation without the need for additional personnel or lifting equipment.

This feature makes the skates highly versatile, as they can be used in a variety of environments, including those with obstacles or tricky corners. The ability to rotate and swivel without resistance is crucial when moving heavy loads, as it ensures minimal friction and smooth operation, reducing the physical effort required by operators.

Robust Wheels for Different Applications

The 3-12 Tonne Steerable Skates are equipped with durable wheels designed to meet the demands of heavy-duty applications. There are three variants of the skates, each with different wheel configurations suited for specific needs:

1. V1330 & V1335

These models come equipped with 85mm nylon wheels. Nylon is a strong, durable material that offers excellent load-bearing capabilities, along with low friction for smooth movement. These wheels are perfect for use on smooth, hard surfaces where precision movement is required.

2. V1340

This variant is fitted with 80mm steel roller wheels. Steel roller wheels are ideal for use on rougher surfaces or in environments where the load needs to be moved across uneven or rough terrain. The steel rollers provide greater durability and support when navigating more challenging conditions.
