Pair of Vehicle Wheel Skates FMT330

Heavy Duty Vehicle Wheel Skates FMT330

The Heavy Duty Vehicle Wheel Skates (FMT330) are the strongest wheel skates money can buy. Each skate supports a massive 1800 kg, which gives a 3600 kg safe working load per pair. As a result, a full set of four skates can handle vehicles weighing up to 7200 kg. This makes them ideal for loaded vans, small trucks, large SUVs and heavy battery electric vehicles (BEVs).

Built for the Toughest Workshop Environments

These heavy duty vehicle wheel skates are designed for the recovery industry and built to withstand constant, demanding use. Each skate features large 125 mm super-robust nylon swivel casters that deliver smooth, reliable movement even under extreme loads. Furthermore, the heavy-gauge steel frame construction makes them virtually indestructible, so they will stand up to years of daily workshop use.

How Do the Heavy Duty Vehicle Wheel Skates Work?

The process is simple and requires only a standard workshop jack. First, jack up the damaged vehicle and lower the wheel into the skate cradle. Damaged or flat tyres are not a problem — the skate cradle accommodates them without issue. Once in position, the vehicle becomes fully mobile on the swivel casters.

When using two pairs (one skate under each wheel), the entire vehicle can be moved or rotated in any direction. Consequently, technicians can reposition even the heaviest vehicles quickly and safely without dragging, pushing or relying on engine power.

Why Are the FMT330 Heavy Duty Vehicle Wheel Skates Essential for Modern Bodyshops?

Moving damaged vehicles around the workshop has always been a challenge for crash repairers. However, with more BEVs entering workshops — many with completely flat batteries — this problem has become even more pressing. Electric vehicles cannot be bump-started or rolled into gear, so a reliable mechanical solution is essential.

Additionally, the FMT330 heavy duty vehicle wheel skates eliminate the need to waste time and effort dragging disabled vehicles across the workshop floor. Instead, one person can reposition a vehicle in seconds. This saves valuable labour time and reduces the risk of further damage to the vehicle or workshop floor.

Moreover, these skates can also be used for winching vehicles up onto recovery truck slide beds, making them a versatile tool for both workshop and roadside recovery operations.

FMT330 vs FMT300 – Which Vehicle Wheel Skates Do You Need?

Bodyshop Solutions also supplies the FMT300 vehicle wheel skates, which offer 1800 kg capacity per pair. The FMT300 is ideal for standard cars and lighter vehicles. In contrast, the FMT330 doubles the capacity to 3600 kg per pair and features larger 125 mm casters, a heavier frame and a wider cradle. Therefore, if your workshop regularly handles vans, trucks, large SUVs or heavy electric vehicles, the FMT330 is the better choice.
