Well Royal mail delivery of 3 parcels today:
There is some weight to them
Seem solid
Some welds not so good:
and
Am reasonably confident they will do me, worst case I can strengthen them.

Took me 10m to move the mill I bought last week 15m on the pallet truck... F***er wobbled with the slightest bump.

For a bit more excitement, stick the pallet truck containing the mill on the tail lift of a luton van to find it's over the weight limit and you need to take it off again and strip it down
Sounds more like you knew the weight but was in denial and it'll do it modeFor a bit more excitement, stick the pallet truck containing the mill on the tail lift of a luton van to find it's over the weight limit and you need to take it off again and strip it down

We knew it would be "about" half a ton, it was an awful lot easier to remove the cabinet and coolant equipment from the mill than the lathe that followed which was significantly heavier! Never have three people stripping down machines when only 1 of them is going to be putting it back together at the other end and the other 2 just want it gone from their premisesSounds more like you knew the weight but was in denial and it'll do it mode

Wish I had seen this last month though at £143 the female version is thirty quid cheaper. Have you seen the price of the new medical manequin's? TWELVE GRAND! Okay, they are programmeable and hook up to the laptop via Bluetooth, but still.

Guys, I know this is an old post but I think I need a set of these skates to move a flat rack container base with a machine mounted on it. Size 2.4m x 6.0m total weight 5T and a lot of the weight at 1 end or the container base.
Would 8T vevor skate do the trick? Also given the weight I assume using the skate with handle I wont be able to turn the container base so am I better using 4No. 8T skates and a toe jack to adjust the direstion before pushing with a small forklift or similar? or will the handle skate work at 5T load?
Thanks for any help.

If it has a nice flat base you could use rollers. Surprising how easy you cam turn things by whacking the ends of the rollers with a sledge hammer.
You would need long rollers though if 2.4m wide. I have used telegraph poles on a full sized shipping container.

I was thinking about rollers but not sure it will turn easily.
