Cheap Enough to leave behind
As machinery movers and riggers we all know the difficulty of moving a large heavy piece of machinery into a shipping container and having the thought of "how are we going to get our dollies or skates out from behind and under that machine?"
With Machinery Sliders that is not an issue. Many time we have done just that --- left them where they were. Machinery Sliders are cheap enough to leave behind. We have not only left them behind in shipping containers, but on aluminum flatbed trucks, vans and in short term storage.
The short term storage is a good one, especially when using the round multi-directional Machinery Sliders. You just chain or strap your forklift to the unit and move it to the dock and ready to load.
