Questions

1–8 of 8 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. 4 skates or 1 skate

    It looks as though if you wanted to move a machine without the worry of it tipping over you might want to use 4 machinery skates...NO/Yes ???

    1. I know this is years old, but I wanted to answer this question.

      No, you typically want to use (3) skates and not (4).  It is called a triangle of stability and machinery movers rely on (3) skates to make sure weight is always on the skates.  It you use (4), you need to tie/attached all skates to the machine so when a corner get light, the skate stays under the machine.  No floor/surface is perfectly flat.  With (4) skates the machine will literally leave a skate behind at some point during the move then regain weight on that corner and drop to the ground. This is much less likely to happen with (3) skates, but you still need to watch. (2) skate wide, typically on the heavy side & (1) skate centered on the lighter side 

      Cut pieces of plywood narrow enough to fit into the “tray” the plywood needs to be a little bit thicker than the height of the sides on these skates.  

      Helpful?

    2. yes , one on each corner is best

      Helpful?

    3. I would recommend 4 skates or more depending on size and weight for stability.

      Helpful?

    4. Yes you are correct if you are concerned. I am using them for moving long heavy pieces of material. So I have two and it's great for that

      Helpful?

    5. Depending on the size and weight of the machinery you're moving, you may need to use more than one skate (one placed under each corner of the machine being moved is the most common choice).

      Helpful?

    6. The number of skates to use on any specific machine would be assessed on the spot. There are many variables to take into account, weight, length, width and suitable locations for a skate to be placed underneath without damaging the machinery. It is completely probable that even more than 4 skates would be recommended to move large machinery. Consult your on sight supervision if in doubt.

      Helpful?

  2. If I have four of these under a heavy piece of equipment, HOW do I turn this equipment since all wheels want to go strainght??

    1. I used low profile toe jacks to raise equipment and adjust skate as needed. Still less expense than most steering stakes and you have the jack for other options

      Helpful?

    2. When using this sort of Skate maneuvering machinery into position can require readjustment of the position of the skates as needed. This might seem like hassle but it is a far better deal than not completing the job.

      Helpful?

    3. These machinery skates are designed only to go in a straight line.

      Helpful?

  3. Are these skates sold individually?

    1. yes

      Helpful?

    2. This machinery skate is sold individually.

  4. st # 52417 is width of 7" include the wheels or craddle width?

    if total width is 7" what is cradle width?

    1. outside of flanges is 3-15/16" and inside of flanges is 3-1/4". There is a radius at the bottom of the flanges, so the flat area is more like 2-3/4" or so. Looks like they started with a structural steel C-channel and cut it down, if that helps. We sometimes add a piece of 2x4 that we ripped to width as a spacer. You can also use scrap steel blocks, etc.

      Helpful?

    2. The cradle width is 3 7/8".

      Helpful?

  5. Do the wheels have ball bearings 

    1 answer

    1. The wheels of this machinery skate do have ball bearings.

      Helpful?

  6. Do you have dimensions for this skate! Ie wheel diameter height off floor etc

    1 answer

    1. This machinery skate is 8.07in. long, 7.48in. wide and 3.15in. high overall. The wheel diameter is 2.83in.

      Helpful?

  7. What is the axle diameter and length?

    1 answer

    1. The inner portion of the axle measures 4.1" (104mm) with a 1.4" (35mm) diameter. The two outer portions of the axle measure 1.8" (45mm) long each with a 1.2" (30mm) diameter. The overall length of the axle is 7.7" (194mm).

      Helpful?

  8. Craddle with question, again.

    I know cradle width has been asked previously, but its still not clear what the width is of the flat area, i.e. not including inside radius at the bottom corners. Will a 3" x 3" OD structural steel square tube fit flat on the cradle or will it hit the radius corners before bottoming out?

    1 answer

    1. The internal channel has an overall width of 3.28". The flat, bottom section of the channel, before it starts to curve on the side, measures 2.71". A 3" x 3" OD structural tube would not fit on the flat, bottom section.
