Description
Richmond’s 4 Tonne Steerable Load Skate is designed for precise movement of heavy machinery and equipment. Featuring a rotating turntable plate, this skate allows operators to guide loads around corners or into tight spaces with greater control. A non-slip rubber surface helps stabilise the load while moving, and the robust steel frame ensures reliable performance in demanding conditions.
Ideal for use on smooth industrial floors, the LSR013 is suited to relocation tasks, equipment installations, and heavy-duty maintenance work. It can be used independently or in combination with other Richmond skates to support larger or uneven loads.
