Vestil Manufacturing SSKT-12 Steerable Machinery Skate

Product Description

The VESTIL MANUFACTURING SSKT-12 is a steerable machinery skate designed to move heavy equipment and machinery across shop floors, loading docks, and industrial work areas. Built with steel construction throughout, this skate features 8 rollers for load distribution and smooth travel. The top surface of each skate includes a rubber grip layer to help secure loads during movement. A built-in handle allows the operator to carry and position the unit with control. This type of equipment is typically used by millwrights, maintenance crews, and industrial riggers handling large, awkward loads.

The SSKT-12 is suited for industrial and commercial facilities where heavy machinery must be relocated without powered equipment. Typical applications include moving machine tools, generators, compressors, and fabrication equipment. The swivel top plate allows the load platform to rotate, and the included pulling bar enables controlled steering around corners and through tight spaces. At 202 pounds, this is a heavy-duty unit built for sustained use in demanding environments.

Installation Notes

Machinery skates of this type are positioned and operated by millwrights, riggers, or trained maintenance personnel. Before moving any load, ensure the floor surface is clear of debris and rated for the combined load weight. The machinery being moved should be properly secured to the skate platform before travel begins. Always follow applicable OSHA material handling guidelines and facility safety protocols when using heavy rigging equipment.
