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.

The LX-6F is the directional-control half of the LX low-profile system. Used in pairs with the matching rear, it suits machine moves, plant relocation and any in-plant application where a low-profile steerable skate is required. Selling separately allows replacement of a damaged front, expansion of an existing rear-only setup, or assembly of a bespoke configuration.
Warning: Do not exceed the 3t rated front capacity. The matched rear must be present and correctly rated. The LX will not pull on rough finished uneven floor.
Inspect weekly with attention to the steering swivel, wheel nylon condition, towing bar attachment and frame weld points. Replace worn wheels and bearings using genuine Yale LX spares.
LX components match by capacity within the system. The LX-6F is intended to pair with the corresponding LX rear at matching capacity. Note that the LX rear skates are identical in construction across the LX-6 and LX-12 systems โ the difference is in the front skate's load capacity and wheel count.
The LX-6F is low-profile (115mm overall height) with hardwearing nylon wheels โ the cost-effective alternative. The Steerman SX/S front section uses heavier-duty polyamide twin rollers with universal joint suspension and a turntable on axial ball bearing, suited to a wider range of floor conditions and higher capacities up to 60t.
No โ the LX and SX/S platforms have different frame dimensions and load plate geometry. They are not cross-compatible.
