Direct answer: Machinery Sliders™ are engineered plastic devices that replace wheeled dollies and skates for moving heavy machinery. They come in three types — a pointed single-direction slider (3/8″ high, 8-1/4″ × 11-1/2″) and two round 360° multi-directional sliders (1″ high, 8″ diameter, with either a 1″ or 4″ center hole) — each rated for roughly 10 tons, with additional sliders added for heavier loads. Weighing just 13 ounces to 1.5 pounds each, they eliminate the tip-over risk and point-loading of wheeled equipment, work across virtually every surface a rigger encounters, and are inexpensive enough to leave in place during shipping.
Introducing Machinery Sliders, the best-kept secret in the machinery moving and rigging industry. These light-weight marvels redefine machinery moving, offering unparalleled safety, user-friendliness, and cost-efficiency compared to traditional dollies and skates. Crafted from high-performance engineered plastic, Machinery Sliders are non-point loading, maintenance-free, and suitable for use in clean-rooms.
Choose from three types: the pointed single-direction slider, measuring 3/8” high, 8-1/4” wide, and 11-1/2” long, or the round-shaped 360-degree multi-directional slider, standing 1” high and 8” in diameter. The round type comes in two styles: a 1″ hole or with a 4″ hole. Remarkably versatile, they are capable of carrying approximately 10 ton each, and additional sliders can be added for heavier machinery.
The lightweight design (weighting only 13 ounces to 1.5 pounds depending on type) not only makes Machinery Sliders easy to handle but also reduces the risk of injury. With their low height clearance, these sliders excel in various applications where traditional methods fall short. Whether moving over damaged concrete, wood, tile, asphalt, or even carpet, Machinery Sliders provide a solution.
Machinery Sliders may greatly reduce the hazards of machinery tip-overs and unstable loads by not having wheels as well as being very low profile compared to old-styled dollies and skates. Ideal for diverse surfaces, including dock-plates, shipping containers, trucks, and solid surfaces, these sliders prove their worth in moving heavy machinery with unparalleled ease.
Utilize Machinery Sliders during the loading of large and tight-fitting machinery in shipping containers, leaving them in place due to their cost-effectiveness. From machinery to a wide array of applications, Machinery Sliders redefine the standards of machinery moving, making them an indispensable asset to any rigger’s gang-box, maintenance shop or machine shop. Everyone who moves machinery and equipment should have at least four of each style.
Machinery Sliders™ are engineered plastic devices that replace traditional wheeled dollies and skates for moving heavy machinery. Because they have no wheels, they eliminate point-loading, reduce tip-over risk, and sit at a much lower profile than wheeled equipment.
There are three types: a pointed single-direction slider measuring 3/8″ high, 8-1/4″ wide, and 11-1/2″ long; and a round 360-degree multi-directional slider standing 1″ high and 8″ in diameter, available with either a 1″ center hole or a 4″ center hole.
Each Machinery Slider is rated for approximately 10 tons. For heavier machinery, additional sliders can be added underneath the load to increase total capacity.
Depending on the type, Machinery Sliders weigh between 13 ounces and 1.5 pounds each — light enough for one-hand placement, which also reduces the risk of injury compared to handling heavy steel dollies.
Machinery Sliders work across nearly every surface a rigger encounters, including damaged concrete, wood, tile, asphalt, carpet, dock plates, shipping container floors, and truck beds.
Yes. Machinery Sliders are non-point loading, maintenance-free, and suitable for use in clean-room environments.
We recommend every rigger, maintenance shop, and machine shop keep at least four of each style on hand — enough for a standard four-point move, with extras available for heavier machinery or added surface protection.
