What Are Load Skates?
Load skates, sometimes called load rollers or load-moving skates, are designed to move heavy materials over flat surfaces. Unlike other lifting methods, load skates slide smoothly under machinery or heavy objects, distributing the weight evenly across ball-bearing castors or nylon wheels. Their low-profile design makes them ideal for areas with limited overhead space, allowing easy positioning and movement even in the tightest spots.At MHS, we offer load skates in various configurations to meet your business’s specific needs. Whether you need steerable skates for precision positioning or pressed steel construction for added durability, we have the perfect solution.
Why Choose Load Skates for Moving Heavy Objects?
It is important to work safely and productively when moving heavy equipment or machinery. Traditional lifting methods, like cranes, may pose safety risks due to their size and manoeuvrability limitations in more confined spaces. Also, manually moving cumbersome equipment can lead to worker injury.Load skates offer a safer and more controlled way to handle heavy loads, minimising the risk of accidents and damage to equipment.Some of the benefits of using load-moving skates include:
Precision Control
Steerable skates provide enhanced manoeuvrability, allowing you to position heavy machinery precisely and reducing time and effort in load placement.
Durability and Reliability
Load skates can handle heavier load capacities and are tough enough to handle the wear and tear of daily industrial use, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Low-Profile Design
The low profile of these load movers allows them to slide under even the most restricted spaces, making them ideal for environments with low ceilings or tight clearances.
Cost-Efficient
Load skates eliminate the need for frequent crane rentals, significantly reducing your operating costs.
Safety First
Load-moving skates reduce potential safety risks and accidents by removing the need for large overhead equipment and manual lifting.
Our Range of Load Skates
At Materials Handling Solutions, we provide a wide range of load skates designed to handle various load capacities. Whether you’re moving heavy equipment in a factory, warehouse, or construction site, we have the right load skates to meet your needs.
Heavy-Duty Load Skates
Heavy-duty load skates easily manage the daily demands of industrial environments. With load capacities ranging from a few tonnes to over 60 tonnes, these load rollers are perfect for moving heavy objects such as large machinery, steel beams, and prefabricated structures.
Steerable Load Skates
Steerable skates for projects requiring greater precision come with positioning handles and optional turntables. These skates allow you to guide heavy materials into their exact location quickly. They offer superior control, especially when navigating tight spaces or positioning machinery for installation.
Low Profile Load Movers
Low-profile rollers are ideal for situations where space is a concern. They are designed to fit under heavy loads with minimal clearance. These skates provide the support and stability needed to transport large items safely in confined environments.
Load Rollers with Ball Bearing Castors
Load rollers with ball-bearing castors to reduce friction make it easier to move heavy materials over long distances. The castors ensure smooth, controlled movement, reducing wear on the equipment and the surfaces you work on.
Nylon Wheels for Enhanced Mobility
For environments where delicate surfaces or reduced noise levels are essential, our load skates with nylon wheels provide a quieter, smoother rolling experience. These wheels offer excellent mobility while protecting your floors from damage.
