Container Moving Skates CMS type

No.801010

The H-Lift Container Moving Skate CMS type is a specialized transport system engineered for moving ISO shipping containers without cranes or forklifts. Featuring a robust 32-ton capacity, this system utilizes a steerable front section and a fixed rear section, both equipped with integrated twist locks that secure directly into the container's corner castings. Its double roller design ensures smooth, low-friction movement on paved surfaces, making it an ideal solution for positioning containers in tight or restricted areas.

  • Complete set: Steerable front skate (16t) + Fixed rear skate (16t)
  • Total Capacity: 32 Tonnes (32,000kg)
  • Integrated twist locks secure safely to ISO container corner castings
  • Steering handle provides precise directional control
  • Nylon wheels ensure smooth movement and high durability
  • Technical Data

  • What is a Load Moving Skate

The CMS Container Skates are specialized heavy-duty movers designed to securely transport ISO shipping containers. Featuring integrated twist locks that engage directly with the container's corner castings, they prevent slippage and allow for safe movement in tight spaces where cranes or trucks cannot access.

🔒 Twist-Lock Security

Unlike standard friction-based skates, the CMS series features Twist Lock Cone Adaptors that lock into the container's bottom corner castings, ensuring the load cannot slip off.

📦 Complete System

Supplied as a complete set comprising steerable front units and fixed rear units, providing full mobility for standard 20ft and 40ft containers.

💪 Heavy Capacity

Engineered to handle fully loaded containers with capacities ranging from 20 Tonnes up to 80 Tonnes, making them ideal for ports and warehouses.

⬇️ Low Profile

Designed with a low clearance height, allowing containers to be easily lifted onto the skates using standard hydraulic toe jacks.

How to Move a Container with CMS Skates:
  1. Lift: Use hydraulic toe jacks (4 recommended) to lift all four corners of the container.
  2. Position: Slide the CMS skates under the corner castings. Ensure the Twist Lock Cones align perfectly with the casting holes.
  3. Lock: Engage the twist locks to mechanically secure the skates to the container structure.
  4. Tow: Attach a towing bar to the front steerable skates and use a forklift or tug vehicle to pull the container to its destination.

Technical Specifications

Note: Each set includes steerable front skates and fixed rear skates.

Load Moving Skate (Machinery Mover)

Heavy Duty Equipment Skates for Horizontal Load Moving
High Load Capacity Equipment Relocation Swivel & Fixed Options Industrial Grade

Product Overview

Load moving skates, also known as machinery skates or equipment skates, are specialized tools designed for moving heavy loads horizontally. These skates are particularly useful in industrial and commercial settings where the relocation of heavy machinery or equipment is required.

They effectively reduce the need for cranes or forklifts in confined spaces and are typically used in conjunction with other lifting equipment, such as hydraulic jacks (toe jacks), to facilitate the loading process.

Common Applications:

  • Relocating heavy machinery inside factories, warehouses, or plants.
  • Equipment installation, maintenance, or plant reconfiguration.
  • Moving transformers, presses, and large industrial components.

Key Design Features

Robust Construction

The platform is constructed of sturdy steel to withstand heavy loads. The low-profile design ensures stability while maximizing overhead clearance.

Wheel Configuration

Wheels vary in number and arrangement (e.g., square pattern or multi-row) to increase stability. Made from Nylon (for floor protection) or Steel (for durability).

Maneuverability

Many models feature swivel casters or a turntable top, allowing for easy turning and positioning in tight spaces.

Ease of Use

Some skates include a handle or pulling bar for manual push/pull operation. Adjustable models allow users to change connecting bar spacing for different load sizes.

Common Types of Load Moving Skates

Type Movement Typical Application
Fixed Skates
(Straight-Running)
Moves in a straight line only. Used under the rear of the load for stability.
Steerable Skates
(Swivel)
Rotating top plate allows turning. Used at the front of the load for steering control.
Adjustable Skates Connecting bars adjust width. Accommodating loads of varying widths and sizes.
Powered Skates Motor-driven (Electric/Pneumatic). Precise movement of extremely heavy loads without manual pushing.

Safety & Maintenance Guide

To ensure safe operation and longevity of the equipment, follow these guidelines:

  • Load Capacity: Always select a skate with a capacity exceeding the weight of the load. Capacities range from a few hundred kilograms to several tons.
  • Floor Condition: Ensure the surface is flat and clean. Small debris can stop a skate wheel and cause the load to shift.
  • Safety Features: Utilize skates with attachment points, non-slip rubber surfaces, or locking mechanisms/brakes to prevent unintended movement.
  • Maintenance: Regular maintenance is critical. Lubricate wheels and bearings regularly, and inspect the steel body for any signs of wear, cracks, or deformation before use.
Recommended Usage Strategy: For maximum stability, skates are often used in a 3-point sets: 1 Steerable Skate at the front (for guidance) and 2 Fixed Skates at the rear (for following). Use a hydraulic toe jack to lift the load onto the skates.
