Steerman RPB Roller Pinch Bars – 1.5-5t Capacity

Description

Heavy-Duty Roller Pinch Bars for Machinery Moving & Industrial Positioning

The Steerman RPB Roller Pinch Bars are engineered to provide a simple, reliable, and highly effective solution for lifting and positioning heavy industrial loads. Designed for professional machinery movers, maintenance engineers, and industrial installation teams, the RPB range delivers excellent lifting leverage, portability, and control in demanding environments.

Ideal for use alongside machinery skates and load moving systems, these heavy-duty roller pinch bars allow operators to safely raise equipment and insert skates or reposition machinery where forklifts or hydraulic lifting equipment cannot easily access.

Available in capacities from 1.5 tonnes to 5 tonnes, the Steerman RPB range is suitable for a wide variety of industrial load handling and machinery installation applications.

Designed for Machinery Moving & Load Skate Positioning

The Steerman RPB Roller Pinch Bar is specifically designed to work in conjunction with heavy load moving skates, making it an essential tool for machinery relocation and installation tasks.

Typical uses include:

• Raising machinery to insert skates
• Equipment relocation
• Industrial installation work
• Plant maintenance operations
• Production line positioning
• Heavy component alignment
• Workshop machinery movement

Its simple yet highly effective design makes load handling safer, faster, and more controlled during industrial moving operations.

Low Toe Plate Height for Restricted Access Areas

A key advantage of the RPB series is its extremely low-profile toe plate, allowing operators to access very tight gaps beneath machinery and equipment.

This makes the pinch bar ideal for:

• Low-clearance machinery
• Confined plant environments
• Precision installation projects
• Restricted access maintenance areas
• Heavy equipment repositioning

The low entry height enables lifting operations where conventional lifting equipment may not fit or operate effectively.

Long Lever Arm for Maximum Mechanical Advantage

The Steerman RPB range is engineered with an extended lever arm design that provides excellent mechanical advantage, allowing heavy loads to be lifted smoothly with reduced operator effort.

This delivers several important operational benefits:

• Easier lifting of heavy machinery
• Reduced physical strain on operators
• Improved lifting control
• Smoother load movement
• Enhanced positioning precision

The efficient leverage system makes the RPB suitable for demanding industrial applications requiring controlled manual lifting performance.

Integrated Rollers for Improved Manoeuvrability

Integrated rollers positioned beneath the bar help minimise friction during lifting and positioning tasks, improving overall manoeuvrability and ease of operation.

This feature assists with:

• Controlled equipment repositioning
• Smoother movement beneath loads
• Reduced surface drag
• Improved handling efficiency
• Easier skate placement and adjustment

The roller-assisted movement helps operators maintain better control during machinery handling procedures.

Durable Construction for Industrial Environments

Manufactured for long-term use in demanding industrial conditions, Steerman RPB Roller Pinch Bars are built using high-quality materials and robust construction techniques.

Key durability benefits include:

• Heavy-duty industrial construction
• Excellent wear resistance
• Reliable long-term performance
• Suitable for intensive site use
• Minimal maintenance requirements

Despite their strength and lifting capability, the bars remain portable and easy to deploy, making them ideal for mobile engineers and on-site maintenance teams.

Portable & Easy to Use

The Steerman RPB range is designed with practicality and portability in mind, allowing engineers to quickly transport and deploy the equipment across workshops, production facilities, and industrial sites.

Their compact and efficient design makes them particularly useful for:

• Mobile maintenance engineers
• Site installation contractors
• Factory maintenance teams
• Machinery movers
• Industrial service engineers

This portability helps improve productivity and efficiency during machinery handling operations.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Industrial Applications

The RPB Roller Pinch Bar range is widely used throughout industry for lifting, positioning, and moving heavy equipment safely and efficiently.

Typical applications include:

• Machinery installation
• Equipment relocation
• Industrial maintenance
• Production line servicing
• Heavy component positioning
• Workshop machinery movement
• Plant engineering
• General industrial load handling

Whether used independently or together with load skates, the Steerman RPB delivers dependable performance for professional users.

Reliable Manual Lifting Solution

The RPB range offers a straightforward and highly effective manual lifting solution where powered lifting equipment may not be practical or accessible.

Its combination of leverage, low-profile access, and roller-assisted movement provides operators with precise control when lifting and positioning heavy industrial loads.

This makes it an essential tool for safe and efficient machinery moving operations.
