One of the main benefits of using skates for moving heavy loads is the range of different models available.
The version can carry around 12 tonnes which makes it a good product as it can of course carry weights under that amount. You can also get versions that can carry up to 220 tonnes if required to do so and you can contact us to see if we can meet your bespoke requirements.
Features on each skate vary and the wheels are the main feature to consider when you’re purchasing this item. You can get them with wheels that can accommodate slipperier environments such as steel wheels. Also, swivel wheels can help skates to have added maneuverability on uneven surfaces.
For heavier loads or trickier moves, skates are combined to create a load moving system. There are nickel-plated models designed for clean rooms, and in the case that you have a specific task that is not already catered for, a bespoke model can be produced. This versatility gives this product a clear advantage over other load moving products available.
In any industry where moving machinery is required it is imperative for employees to learn the safety procedures. Injuries are most likely to happen when the equipment is used incorrectly. Therefore, we always recommend having the right tools for your job to reduce the risk of injuries for your team and anyone on site.
By using a one of these heavy load movers in combination with a toe jack, the jack can be used to lift the load onto the skate, and the skate thereafter used to transport it. This system allows the equipment to take on the weight so that workers do not need to strain themselves. Using the appropriate equipment for heavy lifting decreases the risk of damage to either the load, the floor, or the worker.
The best part about this moving solution is that they are simple for you and your team to use. You can expect the majority of people on your workplace site to use them to do so without any training. The safety checks are straightforward, and steering is easy to control by using the steering bar.
Your employees or people on your worksite using this piece of equipment should still be wary of the surface they are moving machinery to avoid any potential hazards. Adding extra features to accommodate your environment should secure the load onto the skate. As skates are made from high-quality materials when bought from a reputable supplier as ourselves they only require basic maintenance.
