Frequently Asked Questions
General Product Information
1. What are caterpillar skate sets used for?
Caterpillar skate sets are designed for moving heavy machinery and loads over longer distances, providing smooth and continuous travel with reduced surface resistance.
2. How do caterpillar skates differ from other machinery skates?
These skates feature multiple rollers on a rotating track system, allowing continuous contact with the floor for improved stability and reduced point loading.
3. Are caterpillar skate sets suitable for professional use?
Yes, these sets are commonly used in industrial settings by machinery movers and plant relocation teams for high-precision and heavy-duty applications.
4. Can they be used on all floor types?
Caterpillar skates are best suited for smooth, clean surfaces such as concrete or resin-coated floors. Avoid using them on uneven or debris-covered ground.
Usage and Operation
5. How are caterpillar skate sets operated?
The load is lifted using a jack, then carefully lowered onto the skate set. Once in place, the skate system distributes the weight across multiple rollers to ensure easy and steady movement.
6. Are these suitable for long-distance machinery moves?
Yes, the caterpillar design makes them ideal for transporting heavy loads over extended indoor distances with greater control and less effort.
7. Can the skates handle turns or direction changes?
These skates are intended for straight-line movement. For turning capabilities, we recommend using them alongside steerable skates or turntable sets.
Maintenance and Care
8. What maintenance is required for caterpillar skates?
Regularly clean the rollers and track system, check for debris buildup, and lubricate moving parts as needed. Inspect for wear or damage before each use.
9. Are spare parts available?
Yes, we offer replacement rollers, pins, and track components. Please contact our team for availability and advice on compatible parts.
10. How should the skate set be stored?
Store in a clean, dry environment. Lay flat or upright without placing weight on the rollers to preserve their condition and functionality.
