Machine Skates

A machine skate is a low, heavy-duty roller used to move very heavy machinery and loads across a floor. GAP Hire Solutions offers machine skate hire nationwide, giving movers and engineers a controlled way to relocate heavy equipment.

Placed under a load, our machine skates let a team push and steer machines, plant and heavy components smoothly across a smooth floor, avoiding the cost and disruption of a crane or forklift indoors. Using a set of skates spreads the load and keeps the move stable and controlled. Fixed skates run in a straight line while swivel or steerable heads allow turns in tight spaces. 

Machine skate hire suits machinery movers, installers and maintenance engineers who need safe, precise moves without owning specialist kit. With GAP you get well-maintained machine skates, fast nationwide delivery and support from your local depot.
