Heavy Machinery & Machine Moving Skates

When it comes to moving Heavy Machinery and Machine Moving, air powered skates are probably the best option in many situations. Machine moving skates are capable of lifting and moving heavy machinery and other loads up to 100 tons and beyond.

Designed for the material handling industry, Machine Moving Skates are simple air-powered devices that form load moving systems capable of moving heavy machines weighing up to 100 tons and beyond. Used in series of 4 or more, machine moving skates are pneumatically driven with compressed air and they form a thin film of air on the floor surface, on which to move heavy loads to their destination - think hovercraft here.

Machinery moving equipment such as machine skates are omni-directional and can place a load at its destination with pin-point accuracy - down to millimetres. Sold as a kit, machine moving skate systems feature 4 air skates and all hoses and hardware required to set up a system out of the box. Once set up, all you need is a constant source of compressed air, snap in an air hose and off you go. It really is that easy!

You can use any number of machine moving skate modules you like. They are totally versatile and simply snap together with quick-disconnect fittings. No matter what the footprint of your machine may be, we have machine moving skates that'll move it for you.
