The Steerman SX30R is the 15t rear section from the Steerman SX/S range, supplied as a matched pair of skates joined by an adjustable tie rod that keeps both rear skates parallel and at the correct spacing for the load. It runs on twin rollers of abrasion-resistant elastic polyamide with universal joint suspension, pairing with the matching SX30F front section to make up the complete SX30 system — or sold separately for bespoke configurations.
Key Features
- Pair of skates with adjustable tie rod — two skates joined by a tie rod for stable load support; tie rod adjusts to suit load width
- Twin polyamide rollers — abrasion-resistant elastic material, high chemical resistance, protected against breakage, won't damage normal floor coverings
- Universal joint roller suspension — maintains positive contact on slightly uneven floors
- 15t rear capacity — takes the rear-distributed share of the SX30 system load
- Spare parts and full system support — rollers, axles, frames and bearings sold individually for maintenance

European Manufactured | CE Compliant
This product is manufactured to European standards by Yale Industrial Products, part of the Columbus McKinnon group. All units are supplied with a CE Declaration of Conformity. Load moving skates are classed as work equipment under PUWER 1998. Regular visual inspection is required before every use, with periodic thorough examination by a competent person in line with site safety policy and any applicable insurance requirements.
More About This Product
The SX30R fixed-wheel rear section has a capacity of 15t, running on rollers of Abrasion-resistant elastic polyamide at 82mm diameter. Configuration: Pair of skates joined by adjustable tie rod. Pairs with SX30F front section (for SX30 complete system) to form a complete load moving set.
Suitable Applications
The SX30R is the rear half of the SX30 Steerman SX/S system. The pair of skates with adjustable tie rod follows the steerable front's path with stable two-point ground contact. Suits professional industrial moves where heavy loads are moved through workshops, machine shops, plant rooms and on-site installation work.
How to Use the Rear Section
- Confirm the 15t rear capacity is suitable for the rear-distributed share of the intended load.
- Adjust the tie rod to match the load width — both rear skates should run parallel and centred on the load.
- Position the rear pair under the rear of the load using rated jacking equipment.
- Position the matching SX30F front section under the front of the load.
- Lower the load onto both sections and confirm stable contact.
- The rear pair will follow the front's steered path during the move — keep personnel clear on both sides.
Warning:
Do not exceed the 15t rated rear capacity. The matched front must be present and steered by a qualified operator. Keep the rear pair parallel to the line of direction throughout the move.
Safety Information
- Always pair with the matching SX30F front section at the correct capacity.
- Confirm the tie rod adjustment is correct for the load width and locked in place.
- Inspect the frame, rollers and tie rod attachment before each use.
- Do not allow personnel to stand behind the rear pair during transport.
- Use spotters where the load obscures the rear pair's rolling path.
Inspection and Maintenance
Maintenance-free in normal use. Inspect weekly with attention to roller polyamide condition, roller bearings, axles, tie rod attachment and frame weld points. Replace worn rollers using genuine Steerman spare parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the SX30R be used standalone without a front section?
Not for steered moves — the rear has no steering. For fixed-line moves where directional control isn't needed, two rears could be used in parallel; for any move requiring steering, pair with the matching SX30F front section.
Q: How adjustable is the tie rod?
The tie rod adjusts to match the load width. Refer to the datasheet for the exact adjustment range — set the rear skates to run parallel and centred on the load. Lock the adjustment before lowering the load on.
Q: Is the SX30R interchangeable with rears of different capacity?
Steerman SX/S components are universally combinable so long as capacities are matched. Mixing different-capacity components mismatches the system rating — match by capacity for the rated complete system.
