Steerman SX30F Steerable Front Section, 15t Capacity

Model SX30F | Steerable Front | 15t Capacity | Turntable on Axial Ball Bearing | Twin Polyamide Rollers

The Steerman SX30F is the 15t steerable front section from the Steerman SX/S range. The front module incorporates a load platform with a central turntable on an amply dimensioned axial ball bearing, allowing easy steering of the load via the supplied long handle (removable for storage and transport). It runs on twin rollers of abrasion-resistant elastic polyamide with universal joint suspension for positive contact on uneven floors, pairing with the matching SX30R rear section to make up the complete SX30 system — or sold separately for bespoke configurations and replacement.

Key Features

• Steerable turntable platform — central turntable on amply dimensioned axial ball bearing gives precise directional control of the load
• Removable steering handle — long handle supplied; detaches for storage and transport
• Twin polyamide rollers — low rolling resistance even at narrow curve radius; high chemical resistance; won't damage normal floor coverings
• Universal joint roller suspension — positive contact when crossing slightly uneven floors
• 15t front capacity — sized to take the front-distributed share of the SX30 system load
• Modular system component — pairs with SX30R rear or other compatible Steerman SX/S components

Technical Specifications

More About This Product

The SX30F steerable front section has a capacity of 15t, running on rollers of Abrasion-resistant elastic polyamide at 82mm diameter, with turntable: Axial ball bearing. Steering: Removable, supplied with unit. Pairs with SX30R rear section (for SX30 complete system) to form a complete load moving set.

Suitable Applications

The SX30F is the directional-control half of a Steerman SX/S system. Used with the matching SX30R rear, it suits professional industrial moves — machine installations, plant relocation, construction work and any application where heavy industrial loads need full operator-controlled steering. Sold individually for replacement of a damaged front, expanding an existing rear-only stock, or building a bespoke high-capacity configuration.

How to Use the Front Section

1. Confirm the 15t front capacity is suitable for the front-distributed share of the intended load.
2. Position the SX30R rear section under the rear of the load first using rated jacking equipment.
3. Position the SX30F front section under the front of the load with the turntable centred under the load contact area.
4. Lower the load fully onto both sections and confirm stable contact across all rollers.
5. Attach the supplied steering handle to the turntable.
6. Move the load slowly using the handle, keeping personnel clear of the rolling path.

Warning:
Do not exceed the 15t rated front capacity. The matched rear must be present and rated to take the balance of the load.

Safety Information

• Always pair the front section with the matching SX30R rear at the correct capacity.
• Inspect the turntable, axial ball bearing, rollers and steering handle attachment before each use.
• Confirm rollers are free of cuts, embedded debris and flat-spots.
• Use the handle to pull rather than push wherever practical.
• Refer to the operating manual for full pre-use checks.

Inspection and Maintenance

Maintenance-free in normal use. Inspect weekly with attention to the axial ball bearing free movement, roller polyamide condition, steering handle attachment and frame weld points. Replace worn rollers and damaged components using genuine Steerman spare parts.
