Description
Richmond’s 1 Tonne Load Skate is designed to move heavy equipment safely and efficiently in tight or confined areas. Built with a durable steel body and non-slip rubber surface, this skate provides a stable platform for heavy loads while protecting valuable flooring. The fixed wheel configuration ensures controlled, straight-line movement, making it ideal for precise relocation of machinery or equipment.
Commonly used in workshops, warehouses, maintenance departments and plant relocations, the LSR011 is suitable for transporting loads up to one tonne. When used in multiples or paired with swivel skates, it provides a modular solution for more complex moving requirements.
Product FAQs
The LSR011 is a light-duty load skate ideal for moving equipment or machinery up to 1 tonne across smooth, flat indoor surfaces. It features four swivel castors for repositioning in tight spaces.
It’s Richmond’s most accessible option, sitting below higher-capacity or steerable models. It’s designed for entry-level or general-purpose use, not for professional rigging or heavy industrial applications.
No. It does not include a steering mechanism or turntable. Steering must be done manually, which limits effectiveness in confined or uneven areas.
Only use the LSR011 on clean, smooth, and level indoor floors such as sealed concrete or epoxy. It is not recommended for use on sloped, rough, or uneven surfaces.
The LSR011 is a standalone skate. For larger or heavier loads, Richmond recommends using steerable front skates (e.g., LSR012) with fixed rear skates as part of a controlled three-point system.
Ensure the load is secured to the skate using ratchet straps.
Use only on level floors to prevent tipping.
Do not exceed 800kg in practice (recommended 25% safety margin).
Always inspect wheels and floor surface before use.
It’s well suited for technicians, workshop operators, and light industrial users needing occasional equipment movement without complex rigging setups.
