Pair of Vehicle Wheel Skates FMT300

Vehicle Wheel Skates FMT300

The Vehicle Wheel Skates (FMT300) allow you to move non-rolling vehicles freely around your workshop without the need for a forklift or tow truck. Each skate features four heavy-duty swivel casters, so the vehicle can be pushed, pulled or rotated in any direction. As a result, technicians can reposition vehicles quickly between workbays, saving valuable time during busy periods.

How Do the Vehicle Wheel Skates Work?

The process is straightforward. First, jack up the vehicle and slide the skate underneath the wheel. Next, lower the wheel into the skate cradle. The four swivel casters then allow the vehicle to glide smoothly across the workshop floor. With two pairs of skates (one under each wheel), the entire vehicle becomes fully mobile and can be moved or rotated in any direction.

For added security, we recommend strapping the wheel to the skate using a ratchet strap. This prevents the wheel from shifting during movement, particularly on slight inclines or uneven surfaces.

Where Can You Use the Vehicle Wheel Skates?

The FMT300 vehicle wheel skates are designed for use on relatively smooth surfaces. They perform well on polished concrete, epoxy-coated floors and tiled workshop surfaces. Furthermore, they will handle rough concrete without issue. However, they are not suitable for surfaces with potholes or significant cracks, as these can obstruct the casters.

Typical applications include:

• Moving accident-damaged vehicles between workbays
• Repositioning vehicles in bodyshop preparation and paint areas
• Rotating vehicles for easier access during panel repairs
• Clearing parking areas and storage compounds
• Moving vehicles with flat tyres or seized brakes

Why Choose the FMT300 Vehicle Wheel Skates?

Workshop space is valuable. Consequently, being able to move vehicles quickly and safely without starting the engine or relying on a second person makes a real difference to daily productivity. The FMT300 vehicle wheel skates are a simple, cost-effective solution that pays for itself in time saved.

Moreover, the 1800 kg capacity per pair means these skates handle everything from small hatchbacks to large SUVs and vans. Therefore, they are suitable for virtually any vehicle that enters a bodyshop or garage.

Additionally, replacement casters (FMT310) are readily available, so the skates can be maintained and kept in service for years. This makes them a long-term investment rather than a disposable workshop accessory.
