About the SX/S Load Moving Skates

Moving heavy loads and machinery can be an arduous task but with a set of machine skates from the Steerman SX/S heavy duty load moving skates range it will become a much easier operation.

Designed with professional load movers in mind each machine skate kit consists of front and rear sections. The front section incorporate the robust handle for towing the load. This section also includes the turntable which enables the load to be steered easily.

The rear skate section consists of a pair of skates which are joined by a supporting tie rod in order to ensure they remain in a parallel position throughout transportation. This set up also ensures positive contact on uneven flooring.

These machine skates have been made from malleable S.G. Iron rather than conventional steel. This enables the skates size to be kept to a minimum whilst increasing load capacity. A standard steel version would need to be a lot larger to reciprocate the same capacities.

The turntable system has been constructed from a specialised cast nylon composite material which is ultra strong yet light in weight. There are thrust bearings which have a large diameter incorporated into the turntable to ensure effortless swivelling for easy steering.

The composite wheels have been machine made from solid nylon and is suitable for use on industrial floors. The material allows low rolling resistance whilst protecting flooring.

Whilst each model comes as a complete set of front and rear skate sections it is possible to supply them separately on request, so get in touch if you only need one section.
