SF10 and Other Load Skates
These days, often we come across people using load skates for shifting heavy objects. This article will help you to understand the working procedure of these lifting tools and will also help you in getting acquainted with the features of different load skate models.
How many types of load skates are there? While shopping for these lifting tools, you will come across mainly 3 load skate types; they are: fixed type load skates, adjustable load skates and load skates with castors. Having load skates in your house or office is particularly necessary if you often need to move heavy objects from one part of the office/house to another.
What are the benefits offered by load skates? The most prominent benefit offered by the load skates is that they will allow you to move heavy objects without straining your back. There are several instances when people end up injuring their back muscles while trying to shift heavy items. These lifting tools are also meant for people, who already have back problems. This is because carrying loads using the load skates will not put any pressure on your ailing back muscles. When you use load stakes for moving heavy items, you are also indirectly taking care of the floors of your house or office. These lifting tools ensure that the loads are spread evenly, which shield floors against possible damages like formation of cracks.
One of the most frequently used load skate type is the SF10. The SF10 belongs to the family of fixed type load skates.

It is 330 mm long and 220 mm wide and its height is 120 mm. Another load skate model that you can use for carrying objects weighing 1 ton is the SC102. The SC102 is a load skate with castor.
