FAQs – SK2000 - 2,000Kgs Skoots Moving Systems

What surface types can Skoots be used on?

Skoots are best used on smooth, level surfaces such as concrete, epoxy, or finished warehouse floors. Uneven, soft, or sloped surfaces can affect control and safety.

Can I use Skoots on my own?

Yes, for loads within your capability. While Skoots are designed for one-person operation, we recommend two-person handling for high-capacity models like the SK2000 to maintain control, especially when navigating tight spaces.

How do I know if my load is secure?

Ensure both straps are tightly tensioned using the eye bolts, and that the load sits evenly on both toe plates. Double-check grip before moving.

Can the straps be replaced?

Yes. Replacement Skoots securing straps are available for all models, and it's good practice to inspect them regularly for wear.

What maintenance is required?

Keep the hydraulic system clean, regularly inspect the castors and toe plates for wear, and check that straps and bolts are undamaged. A periodic lubrication of moving parts is also recommended.
