Steerable & Fixed Moving Skates

Q: Should I choose the Steerman LX or SX system?

The LX range is a high-quality, cost-effective solution for maintenance teams and occasional moves. The SX range is designed specifically for the professional load-moving industry, featuring reinforced construction for daily, heavy-duty use.

Q: How many skates do I need for a stable lift?

Most professionals use a 3-point system—one steerable front skate and two linked rear skates. This ensures the load remains stable and in contact with the ground, even if the floor surface is slightly uneven.

Q: What maintenance do machine moving skates require?

Keep rollers free of debris and metal swarf to prevent floor damage. Regularly check that turntables rotate freely and that all connecting bars and handles are securely fastened before a lift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of 360° rotating moving skates?

Standard moving skates usually move in a straight line or require a wide turning circle. 360° rotating skates (or dollies) allow the load to be spun on its own axis, which is essential when positioning machinery in narrow aisles or cluttered factory floors.

Should I choose the Steerman LX or SX system?

The LX range is an excellent, high-quality solution for maintenance teams and occasional moves. The SX range is designed for the professional load-moving industry, featuring reinforced construction and components designed for daily, heavy-duty use.

How many skates do I need for a stable lift?

Most professionals use a 3-point system (one steerable front skate and two linked rear skates) to ensure the load remains stable and grounded even if the floor is slightly uneven. This prevents the "table wobble" effect found in 4-point systems.

What maintenance do machine-moving skates require?

Keep the rollers free of debris and metal swarf, as this can embed in the wheels and damage your floors. Regularly check that the turntables rotate freely and that the connecting bars are securely fastened.
