The H-Lift Steerable Load Skate MST type is a maneuverable heavy-duty dolly designed to provide precise directional control when moving machinery. Equipped with a 1-meter drawbar and a rotating turntable with a thrust bearing, it allows operators to steer heavy loads around corners safely. The platform features an anti-slip rubber lining to secure the load, while the low-profile design ensures stability during transport.
The MST Steerable Load Skates are designed for precision maneuvering of heavy equipment. Featuring a ball-bearing turntable and a long steering handle, they allow operators to easily guide loads around corners. Typically used as the front unit in a 3-point system, they provide essential steering capability for safe transport.
Equipped with a heavy-duty ball-bearing turntable and a long handle (up to 1200mm), giving the operator leverage to steer heavy loads effortlessly.
Models MST06 (6T) and MST12 (12T) feature a Towing Eye on the handle, allowing connection to a forklift or tug for moving massive loads.
Nylon (MST03/06): Protects workshop floors from damage.
Steel (MST12): Extreme durability for the heaviest loads.
The turntable surface is lined with anti-slip rubber to friction-lock the load, preventing slippage during steering maneuvers.
Why use 3 skates instead of 4? A 3-point system ensures all skates maintain contact with the floor, even on uneven surfaces.
Example: To move a 12T machine, place one MST06 at the front and two MSF030 at the rear.

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:
The platform is constructed of sturdy steel to withstand heavy loads. The low-profile design ensures stability while maximizing overhead clearance.
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).
Many models feature swivel casters or a turntable top, allowing for easy turning and positioning in tight spaces.
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.
| 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. |
