Description

Professional Heavy Load Moving System for Machinery Relocation & Industrial Transport

The Steerman LX Heavy Load Moving System is a robust and highly manoeuvrable machinery moving solution designed for the safe relocation and positioning of heavy industrial equipment up to 12 tonnes. Engineered for professional machinery movers, maintenance engineers, factory operators, and installation teams, the LX range combines compact design, dependable performance, and excellent load control for efficient in-plant transport operations.

Designed around a stable three-point loading configuration, the Steerman LX system delivers smooth movement, balanced load distribution, and precise manoeuvrability when handling machinery, plant equipment, and industrial assemblies across workshop and factory floors.

Available in 6 tonne and 12 tonne system capacities, the LX range provides a practical and reliable solution for routine machinery movement and industrial installation work.

Three-Point Load Moving System for Maximum Stability

The Steerman LX system uses a proven three-point skate arrangement designed to provide excellent load stability and manoeuvrability during transport operations.

Each complete system consists of:

  • One precision steerable front skate
  • Two adjustable rear skates
  • Robust towing bar assembly
  • Adjustable tie rod system

This configuration ensures balanced weight distribution and controlled movement, even when handling large or awkward industrial loads.

The three-point design also improves steering accuracy and allows machinery to be repositioned safely within confined industrial environments.

Steerable Front Skate for Precise Load Control

The LX-6F and LX-12F front skate units are supplied complete with a heavy-duty towing bar, allowing operators to accurately steer and guide loads during movement.

This provides excellent manoeuvrability when:

  • Navigating tight workshop spaces
  • Positioning machinery
  • Moving equipment around obstacles
  • Performing installation tasks
  • Relocating heavy industrial components

The steerable front skate system improves operational control and reduces the effort required when transporting heavy loads across industrial floors.

Adjustable Rear Skates for Balanced Load Distribution

The rear skate assembly (LX-6/12R) features two adjustable rear skates connected by robust tie rods designed to maintain correct alignment during movement.

This adjustable configuration offers several advantages:

  • Improved load stability
  • Balanced weight distribution
  • Controlled travel movement
  • Enhanced tracking accuracy
  • Adaptability for varying machinery sizes

The tie rod system helps ensure smooth and predictable movement while reducing the risk of load instability during transport.

Hardwearing Nylon Wheels for Smooth Rolling Performance

The Steerman LX Heavy Load Moving System is fitted with durable nylon wheels engineered to provide low rolling resistance and excellent floor protection.

These high-quality wheels deliver:

  • Smooth movement under load
  • Reduced operator effort
  • Excellent durability
  • Protection for industrial floor surfaces
  • Reliable long-term performance

The wheel design makes the LX system particularly suitable for use on standard workshop, warehouse, and factory flooring.

Compact Design for In-Plant Machinery Transport

The compact and practical design of the LX system makes it ideal for machinery movement within factories, workshops, and industrial facilities where space may be limited.

Its low-profile construction and manoeuvrability are particularly beneficial for:

  • Production line relocation
  • Maintenance shutdowns
  • Machinery installation
  • Equipment repositioning
  • Plant upgrades
  • Industrial maintenance work

The system’s compact footprint allows operators to move heavy equipment efficiently while maintaining excellent control.

Fully Assembled & Ready for Immediate Use

Each Steerman LX system is supplied fully assembled and ready for operation, allowing users to quickly deploy the equipment without complex setup procedures.

This improves efficiency during:

  • Planned maintenance operations
  • Machinery installation projects
  • Equipment relocation work
  • Site shutdowns
  • Emergency machinery movement tasks

The ready-to-use configuration helps reduce downtime and improve productivity during industrial handling operations.

Designed for Professional Industrial Applications

The Steerman LX Heavy Load Moving System is widely used across multiple industries where safe and controlled machinery movement is required.

Typical applications include:

  • Machinery installation
  • Plant relocation
  • Production line maintenance
  • Factory equipment movement
  • Engineering workshops
  • Industrial maintenance operations
  • Heavy equipment positioning
  • Manufacturing facility upgrades

Its combination of manoeuvrability, durability, and ease of use makes it an essential solution for professional machinery handling.

Reliable Performance with Balanced Load Handling

Both the front and rear skates are engineered to support up to 50% of the total system capacity, ensuring balanced load carrying performance and dependable operation during transport.

This balanced design improves:

  • Load stability
  • Handling safety
  • Rolling efficiency
  • Steering control
  • Operational reliability

The result is a professional heavy load moving system capable of delivering consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
