Description
This container moving skate set is designed for transporting heavy containers, equipment and machinery in industrial and commercial environments. Constructed from heavy duty steel, the system includes a steerable front unit with drawbar and rear load skates, allowing controlled movement of loads up to 4000kg. The low profile design improves stability by keeping the load close to the ground, while polyurethane rollers provide smooth travel and help protect floor surfaces.
The modular configuration allows the skates to be positioned to suit different load sizes and weight distributions, making it suitable for a range of handling tasks. The steerable turntable enables precise positioning in tight spaces, which is useful in warehouses, workshops and maintenance settings. This system is commonly used for machinery relocation, container movement and general heavy load transport where forklifts or cranes are not practical.
Product FAQs
This skate is designed for repositioning standard shipping containers over short distances. It fits directly into the corner castings and allows controlled movement using a tow method such as a forklift.
The skate is designed to insert into the ISO corner casting of standard containers. Once seated correctly, the container can be rolled without risk of slippage or misalignment.
A full set of four LSR016 skates is required—one for each container corner—for stable and balanced relocation.
Each LSR016 includes a swivel castor for steering capability, paired with a fixed roller for directional support. Steering is generally handled by the equipment moving the container (e.g. forklift).
The skate should only be used on solid, level, and smooth surfaces such as concrete or sealed yards. Uneven terrain increases the risk of instability or skate failure.
Yes, when used as part of a complete matched set of four skates. Each unit is engineered for high capacity, but weight distribution and safety precautions must be managed carefully.
No tools are required. The skate slots into the container corner and stays in place via its design geometry and the container’s own weight.
Common users include logistics companies, construction crews, yard managers, hire depots, and operations teams needing flexible container placement without cranes or dedicated movers.
