Suitable for industrial relocation projects, equipment installation, and maintenance operations, it can be used individually or with additional skates to support uneven or oversized loads.
Product FAQs
It is used to support and relocate large industrial machinery, heavy structures, or plant equipment up to 6 tonnes. Typically used as part of a three or four-point skate system.
No. This is a fixed skate, designed only for straight-line movement. It must be paired with a compatible steerable skate for directional control.
Not recommended. Due to its fixed configuration and high load capacity, it should be used in conjunction with steerable skates and additional fixed skates to ensure stability and control.
The skate is fitted with high-strength nylon rollers designed for smooth indoor surfaces. These wheels help distribute load weight and reduce rolling resistance.
Only use on level, clean, and smooth indoor surfaces such as polished concrete. Avoid use on sloped, uneven, or outdoor surfaces.
No. As a fixed skate, the LSR018 has no steering function or handle mount. For guided movement, Richmond recommends combining it with a steerable skate like the LSR008 or LSR013.
Yes. It is commonly used by riggers and contractors for moving switchboards, structural frames, heavy machinery bases, and other high-load applications.
LSR010 supports 2.5 tonnes – suited for medium loads.
LSR009 supports 3 tonnes – commonly paired with steerable skates.
LSR018 offers a 6 tonne rating – Richmond’s highest fixed skate capacity for large-scale moves.
