Description
Richmond’s 12 Tonne Steerable Load Skate is purpose-built for heavy-duty machinery relocation where directional control and stability are essential. Designed with a robust steel frame and a heavy load rating, this skate features a steerable front section with a drawbar and towing eye for guided movement. Its non-slip rubber surface enhances load security during operation.
Engineered for use on smooth, hard surfaces, the LSR009 is commonly used in factories, maintenance operations and infrastructure projects where equipment needs to be moved safely and efficiently. For larger or irregular loads, this steerable skate can be used in combination with fixed trailing skates.
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.
