Steerman LX Heavy Load Moving System 6–12 T Capacity

Description

The Steerman LX Heavy Load Moving System from Steerman is a professional three-point machinery moving solution designed for the efficient and safe relocation of heavy equipment up to 12 tonnes. Compact, durable, and ready for immediate use, the LX range is ideal for factories, workshops, maintenance teams, and machinery installers who require dependable in-plant transport.

Each complete system consists of a precision steerable front skate paired with two adjustable rear skates, forming a stable three-point loading configuration. This proven design ensures excellent load distribution and manoeuvrability when moving machines, plant components, and industrial assemblies across workshop floors.

The front skate units (LX-6F and LX-12F) are supplied with a robust towing bar, allowing operators to guide loads accurately through tight spaces and around obstacles. The rear skate assembly (LX-6/12R) features two adjustable tie rods that maintain correct alignment during movement, helping to ensure smooth, controlled travel.

Manufactured for durability and long service life, the Steerman LX systems use hardwearing nylon wheels that provide low rolling resistance while protecting standard industrial floor surfaces. Both the front and rear skates are engineered to carry up to 50% of the total system capacity, ensuring balanced load handling and reliable performance.

Supplied fully assembled and ready to operate, the LX heavy load moving system is particularly well suited to machinery installation, plant relocation, maintenance shutdowns, and general in-house transport tasks where compact size and dependable handling are essential.

Whether moving individual machines or supporting routine maintenance operations, the Steerman LX range delivers professional-grade performance in a practical, easy-to-use format.
