Yale LX-12R Rear Skate Pair, 6t Capacity

Model LX-12R | Adjustable Rear Pair | 6000kg Rear Capacity | 115mm Low Profile | 8 × 85×90mm Nylon Wheels

The Yale LX-12R is the 6t rear skate pair from the Yale LX range — the manufacturer's cost-effective alternative to the premium Steerman SX/S range. The pair of identical rear skates is joined by two adjustable tie rods (500–1400 mm range), running on 8 hardwearing 85×90mm nylon wheels at the same low 115mm overall height as the rest of the LX range. It pairs with the LX-12F front for the complete 12t LX-12 system, or sells separately for replacements — note the LX rear skates are identical across the LX-6 and LX-12; the capacity difference is in the front skate.

Key Features

• Pair of identical skates with adjustable tie rods — two skates joined by two tie rods adjusting 500–1400 mm for varied load widths
• Low-profile 115mm overall height — fits under loads with limited ground clearance
• 8 hardwearing nylon wheels — 85×90mm, distribute the rear load across multiple contact points
• Cost-effective Yale LX platform — universally interchangeable with existing LX-12 system inventory
• Replacement and bespoke configurations — sold individually for system maintenance or custom builds

More About This Product

The Yale LX-12R is the 6t rear skate pair from the Yale LX range — the manufacturer's cost-effective alternative to the premium Steerman SX/S range. Supplied as a pair of identical rear skates joined by two adjustable tie rods (500–1400 mm range). Runs on 8 hardwearing nylon wheels (85×90mm) with the same low 115mm overall height as the rest of the LX range. Pairs with the LX-12F front for the complete 12t LX-12 system, or sold separately for replacement or bespoke configurations. Note that the LX rear skates are identical across the LX-6 and LX-12 systems — the system capacity difference is in the front skate.

Suitable Applications

The LX-12R is the rear half of the LX-12 system, used for moving heavy plant or machinery up to 12t total system capacity (12t system / 6t rear per the 50/50 split). Typical uses include replacing a damaged LX-12 rear, configuring a system for unusual load distributions, or building a low-profile rear-only setup for fixed-line moves where directional control isn't required.

How to Use the LX-12R

1. Confirm the load has at least 115mm clearance for the skate platform.
2. Adjust the two tie rods to match the load width (within the 500–1400 mm range) and lock the adjustment.
3. Position the LX-12R pair under the rear of the load using rated jacking equipment.
4. Position the matching LX-12F front skate under the front of the load.
5. Lower the load fully onto both sections and confirm stable contact.
6. Move the load using the towing bar on the LX-12F front skate.

Warning:
Do not exceed the 6t rear capacity. Do not use as the sole skate under a load — pair with a matching front skate. The LX is designed for smooth finished flat even floors only.

Safety Information

• Inspect the wheels, bearings, tie rods and frame before each use.
• Confirm even contact across all 8 wheels when loaded.
• Confirm the tie rod adjustment is correct for the load width and locked in place.
• Keep personnel clear of the rolling path.
• Refer to the operating manual for full pre-use checks.

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspect weekly with attention to wheel nylon condition, bearing free movement, tie rod attachment and frame integrity. Replace worn wheels using genuine Yale LX spare wheels.
