Description
Richmond’s 2.5 Tonne Fixed Load Skate is a heavy-duty moving solution designed for transporting large equipment with confidence. Its low-profile steel construction provides a stable base, while the non-slip rubber surface helps secure loads during movement. The fixed wheel design allows for straight-line travel, offering precise control when positioning machinery or bulky assets.
Ideal for workshops, industrial plants and relocation projects, this load skate supports loads up to 2.5 tonnes when used on smooth, level surfaces. For larger or irregularly shaped loads, multiple skates can be combined to distribute weight evenly and improve maneuverability.
Product FAQs
The LSR010 is designed to move heavy loads up to 2.5 tonnes in a straight line. It’s ideal for machinery relocation, equipment installation, and static load positioning on smooth indoor floors.
No. This is a fixed load skate with a rigid, non-turning design. It’s intended to be used as a rear support skate in a three-point load moving system, with a steerable front skate such as the LSR012.
While technically possible, it’s not recommended. For directional control and load stability, the LSR010 should be used in conjunction with a steerable skate for safe and effective movement.
The LSR010 uses heavy-duty nylon wheels, offering low rolling resistance and excellent durability on clean, level surfaces such as factory concrete or epoxy-coated floors.
It must be used on smooth, flat, indoor surfaces. It is not suitable for use on uneven, sloped, or rough terrain, as the fixed design offers no ability to compensate for surface irregularities.
No. The LSR010 platform does not feature integrated load-securing hardware or a non-slip top. Richmond recommends securing loads with ratchet straps and placing anti-slip material between the load and the skate.
LSR011 is an entry-level 1 tonne skate with four swivel castors for light, low-risk repositioning.
LSR010 is fixed and supports heavier loads (2.5 tonnes), but offers no steering.
LSR012 is a steerable unit with a turntable and handle attachment point, ideal as the front component in a three-point system with the LSR010 as the rear support.
This model is commonly used by machinery installers, riggers, and maintenance technicians needing a reliable fixed skate to support medium-weight loads during plant relocations or refits.
