Machinery Skate Hire
Load skates are designed to assist with the controlled movement of heavy loads. They are commonly used alongside suitable jacking, lifting, rigging or pulling equipment as part of a planned machinery-moving operation.
A 5T load skate is a useful option for smaller machinery-moving projects where the required load capacity falls within the equipment's rated capacity.
The appropriate equipment configuration will depend on the weight and dimensions of the load, centre of gravity, floor condition, travel path and the way the load is lifted and supported.
