Description
The 4 Tonne Steerable Load Skate is designed for controlled movement of heavy machinery and equipment across smooth, level industrial floors. Built for loads up to 4000kg, it features a heavy duty frame, swivel plate, and 360° swivel castors to help operators move loads safely and accurately during maintenance, installation, and relocation work. The removable connecting handle provides better steering control, while the integrated built in handles make the unit easier to place and reposition on site.
This skate is well suited to workshops, warehouses, factories, and plant maintenance environments where heavy items need to be shifted with precision. It can be used with a roller crowbar or jack for setup and placement, and an optional twist-lock top is available for container handling where required. The maintenance-free design helps reduce downtime, and the steerable configuration makes it useful for guiding loads through tighter spaces or along controlled movement paths.
Product FAQs
The LSR013 is a steerable machinery skate used to guide heavy equipment up to 4 tonnes. It forms the steering component of a multi-skate system used in machinery relocation and plant installation.
Yes. It includes a rotating turntable and a mount for a towing handle or drawbar, allowing operators to control direction during movement.
No. It should be used as the front component in a three-point load skate system, with fixed skates at the rear (e.g., LSR009 or LSR018) to support and stabilise the load.
Use only on flat, level, and clean indoor surfaces such as sealed concrete or epoxy. Avoid uneven or outdoor surfaces, which may compromise safety.
This skate is fitted with durable nylon rollers, engineered for low resistance and high load-bearing capacity on smooth floors.
No. Handles are sold separately. Richmond offers compatible towing handles that connect directly to the skate’s mounting point.
LSR012: 2 tonne capacity – for lighter equipment.
LSR013: 4 tonne capacity – better for larger industrial machinery requiring higher load handling and control.
Common users include riggers, machine movers, workshop maintenance crews, and contractors performing equipment shifts, installations, or relocations.
