The VEVOR Hydraulic Jack, 2.5 Ton Toe Lift, 5 Ton Top Lift, 0.8-5.3 in Toe Height Machine Jack is one of our picks for the machine skate lineup. Everything below comes straight from the manufacturer's published listing - specs, capacities, and dimensions are theirs, not ours.
Machine skates move equipment a forklift cannot reach - the machine rides on rollers, a toe jack lifts each corner just enough to slip the skates under, and the load rolls across smooth slab under control. Rated capacity is per the manufacturer's listing, the floor must be hard and clean, and no part of anyone ever goes under a load supported only by a jack.
Key details, quoted from the manufacturer's published listing:

What to check before you buy
- Combined capacity across the set
- Machine skates are rated per unit and used in sets. The usable capacity is the set rating with the load distributed - not the sum assuming perfect balance.
- Floor condition
- Skates concentrate very high point loads through small rollers. Cracks, expansion joints, drains and coatings all matter more than they do for wheeled carts.
- Load center height
- Tall equipment on low skates tips easily. The higher the center of gravity, the more the load needs restraint before it moves.
- Steering and control
- A steerable unit at the leading corner makes the difference between a controlled move and a load that goes where the floor decides.

Frequently asked questions
How do machine skates work?
Sets of low-profile roller units are placed under the load so it rolls rather than slides. They convert a lifting problem into a pushing problem, at the cost of needing a good floor.
How do I calculate the capacity I need?
Take the total equipment weight and divide by the number of skates, then add margin because load rarely distributes evenly. Weight biased to one end loads those skates far more than the average.
What floor do skates need?
Smooth, sound and level. Small-diameter rollers stop dead at cracks and joints, and the concentrated point loading can damage weaker floors or coatings.
Do I need to secure the load to the skates?
For anything tall or top-heavy, yes. Equipment that shifts while rolling is the main injury mechanism in this kind of move.
Can one person move heavy equipment on skates?
Rolling resistance is low, which is exactly why it is deceptive - a load that starts moving easily is also hard to stop. Plan the route, the stopping method and the number of people before starting.
Where do the specifications on this page come from?
They are taken from the manufacturer's published listing. WC Safety does not laboratory-test products, and nothing is claimed here that the manufacturer does not state.
