Wheel Skates should only be used in suitable, well lit areas.

Wheel Skates must be used in pairs at either the front or rear of the vehicle.

They must never be used diagonally.
Keep general area clean and tidy and free from obstructions.


 Do not start or drive the vehicle whilst it is raised on wheel skates.
DO NOT use the Wheel Skates for purposes other than which they are intended.




DO NOT operate the Wheel Skates when you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

DO NOT get the Wheel Skates wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.

DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the Wheel Skates. Remember that the front of a vehicle is usually heavier than the rear.

DO NOT use the Wheel Skates to lift or support a vehicle in order to do work underneath it.


2. INTRODUCTION
Steel chassis with pedal operated mechanical lifting action. Skate sits on easy rolling Ø50mm nylon castor wheels. Composite rollers cradle
vehicle's tyre and are capable of handling up to 240mm profiles. Suitable for showrooms, bodyshops, hotels, pubs and car parks - in fact
anywhere a disabled vehicle needs to be moved.
Note: Skates sold as singles, but must be used in pairs.
3. SPECIFICATION
Approximate size expanded: Width and length ..................... 620mm
4. OPERATION
4.1. Preparation.
4.1.1. Ensure that the area where the vehicle is to be moved is clear of any obstructions. The floor surface should be smooth and
level. Take note of any features in the floor that may catch the skate wheels such as floor
mounted power and data points, room divider tracks, drainage features, or damage to the
floor surface.
4.1.2. Enlist sufficient assistance to move the vehicle safely. Do not attempt to move the vehicle
into an area where there is insufficient space for persons to manoeuvre the vehicle safely.
4.1.3. Prior to operation release the foot pedal from the transit hook by depressing the lever slightly
and moving the hook to one side to allow the lever to rise up.
4.1.4. The Wheel Skates should be used as a pair. Attach to the front wheels to swing the front of
the vehicle. ( Do not release the hand brake until both Skates are attached. Re-engage the
handbrake immediately the movement has been made.) Attach to the back wheels to swing
the back of the vehicle. ( Ideally the front wheels should be straight.) If you intend to use two
pairs of skates to move a vehicle in one movement great care should be exercised in order
to avoid injury to persons or property. Read the safety instructions above.
