When it comes to positioning and relocating industrial equipment, having the right tools makes the process smoother and more predictable. That is where machine skates and dollies play an important role. Designed for controlled equipment movement inside industrial facilities, these tools support efficient workflows and consistent results.

At Hevi-Haul, we manufacture industrial machine skates and dollies built for demanding applications. Our equipment is used by machinery movers, rigging teams, and facility managers who rely on dependable performance and long-term durability.

What Are Machine Skates and Dollies?

Machine skates and machinery moving dollies are purpose-built tools used to reposition equipment across flat surfaces. Unlike general carts or improvised solutions, these products are designed specifically for industrial equipment handling and controlled movement.

They are commonly used for:

  • Repositioning machinery within facilities
  • Supporting equipment installation and alignment
  • Managing equipment movement during maintenance
  • Improving efficiency during layout changes

Low-profile designs and durable components keep equipment stable and easy to manage throughout the process.

Built for Consistent Performance with Machine Skates and Dollies

Industrial environments demand equipment that holds up under frequent use. Floor conditions vary, layouts evolve, and timelines matter. Well-built machinery skates and dollies are designed to perform consistently across a wide range of operational settings.

Quality load-moving equipment should offer:

  • Reliable load capacity ratings
  • Smooth rolling characteristics
  • Predictable movement and control
  • Components designed for long service life

Hevi-Haul equipment is built to meet these expectations in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other industrial facilities.
