Four nylon rollers: Large diameter sealed rollers help distribute load weight and provide smooth movement.
Fixed skate design: Ideal for straight line movement and commonly used together with steerable skates.
Rubber topped platform: Helps stabilise loads and protects equipment during transport.
Heavy duty steel construction: Built for regular use in workshops, factories, and warehouse environments.
Description
The 1 Tonne Fixed Load Skate is designed for moving machinery, equipment, and heavy items across smooth, level industrial floors. With a load capacity of 1000kg, the skate features a durable steel frame and four large diameter sealed nylon rollers that help distribute weight evenly while allowing loads to move smoothly during relocation tasks. The rubber topped platform improves load stability and helps protect the underside of equipment during transport.
This fixed load skate is commonly used alongside steerable skates to help guide and support machinery during installation, relocation, or maintenance work. The low profile design allows it to be positioned easily once the load is lifted slightly using a roller crowbar or jack. Integrated carry handles allow operators to lift and place the skate quickly, making it suitable for workshops, warehouses, factories, and other industrial environments.
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.
