SK3500 – 3,500Kgs Skoots Moving Systems – Professional-Grade Furniture Movers
The SK3500 Skoots moving system represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty portable lifting. As the "original and best" name in the industry, Skoots have been the trusted choice for professional movers for over 30 years. This robust SK3500 model is engineered for those who need to transport serious weight, offering a massive 3,500kg (3.5 tonne) lifting capacity.
Proudly manufactured in the UK, these hydraulic lifters provide the precision and reliability required when moving high-value, bulky equipment in sensitive environments like data centres, museums, and industrial sites.
Why the SK3500 is the Professional Choice
The SK3500 is more than just a furniture mover; it is a sophisticated material handling solution. Each system consists of a matched pair of hydraulic frames, designed to work in tandem to lift and glide loads up to 3.5 tonnes.
Massive 3,500kg Capacity: Ideal for the heaviest industrial machinery and infrastructure.
400mm Lifting Height: Provides ample ground clearance for navigating ramps or uneven surfaces.
Durable Engineering: Features single solid nylon castors designed to withstand extreme pressure while maintaining 360° mobility.
Secure Transport: Includes two high-strength Skoots load-binding straps as standard.
Ideal Applications for 3.5-Tonne Skoots Systems
The SK3500 Skoots moving systems are the go-to solution for industries requiring the movement of "big box" or crate-style items. They are frequently used for:
Electrical Infrastructure: Heavy switchgear panels and control cabinets.
Green Energy: EV charger battery installs and power storage units.
Security & Retail: Industrial-grade safes, large vending machines, and heavy-duty displays.
HVAC & Plant: Commercial refrigeration units and air conditioning systems.
Specialised Logistics: Moving valuable museum crates or gallery exhibits.
Simple Operation, Maximum Safety
Despite its industrial power, the SK3500 is designed for simplicity. It can be operated by a single person with minimal training, making it an incredibly efficient addition to any moving fleet.
