Heavy Machinery Moving Equipment – There are different types of Heavy Machinery Moving Equipment.
Knowing exactly what is available and what each type can do will help you make the right choice for your machine handling challenges.
The most common types of Heavy Machinery Moving Equipment are:
If you are a machine hauler, you definitely know what each of these machines can do.
However, if your company prefers to handle these projects in-house, we encourage you to review the overview below.
Heavy Machinery Moving Equipment
Here are 8 Heavy Machinery Moving Equipment:
Lifting Wedges
When heavy loads have to be moved, there is often very little clearance between the floor and the bottom of the load.
Using a lifting wedge will help you take that all-important first step before deploying your next move.
Lifting wedges use integrated hydraulic cylinders and stepped jaws.
You can start your lifting project with as little as 0.39 inch clearance.
Enabling the lift wedge typically increases the gap to 2.72 inches.
If the wedge design does not incorporate a cylinder, an external hand or foot operated hydraulic pump must be installed.

Low Height Hydraulic Cylinders
Also known as pancake cylinders, these simple tools pack an excellent power-to-height ratio.
Compact designs like the Enerpac CUSP10 are only 2.85 inches tall when folded and have a lifting capacity of up to 10 tons.
In addition to height and capacity, consider cylinder stroke when choosing a low-height cylinder.
If you are looking for a cylinder with low folding height and long stroke, telescopic hydraulic cylinder is the best choice.
Toe Jacks
If you have an access gap of 0.79″ or more and need long travel, the Enerpac Tow Jack provides an excellent solution.
For example, the SOH106 toe lifter offers over 5.39 inches of travel.
The toe lifter is easy to use, simply place your toe under the load and it will move into place.
An added bonus is that the head of the toe lifter can also be positioned under the load with more clearance, allowing you to lift loads from 11.61″ to 17″.
Machine Skates
You may have heard these called carts, mechanical roller skates, load sleds, or roller blades.
But no matter what you call her, they all do the same thing—that is, use her built-in casters to slide under her load—so she can roll effortlessly across the factory floor. You can move.
For a cargo sled to work effectively, it needs a smooth, level floor surface free of dirt and debris.
The bed can be pushed or pulled manually or with the help of a forklift or tractor as needed.
Different types include steerable roller skates with fixed wheels, roller tracks, and those that move her 360 degrees.
Portable Gantries
Compared to other mentioned types of Heavy Machinery Moving Equipment, portable hydraulic gantry cranes are commonly used to lift much heavier loads.
Typical examples are generators, transformers, turbines and medical equipment.
The difference from other mechanical mobile devices is that the load is lifted from above.
Despite being used for large and heavy loads, some portable hydraulic gantry cranes are designed to fit around loads where space is limited.
One such example is the Enerpac ML40. Unlike many other portals, the ML40’s clever design allows modules to be moved through standard doors and into buildings.
And as far as portal operation is concerned, unlike the larger models, the ML40 is powered by simply plugging into a regular wall outlet.
Skidding Systems
A shifting system is useful when the load is too heavy for the sled or when using a hydraulic gantry is impractical.
They allow loads to slide on pre-manufactured, field-assembled rails.
They operate on a series of skid carriers powered by hydraulic push-pull cylinders. Each cylinder rides on a series of special low-friction PTFE-coated pads on the skid rails.
Shifting systems are often used with turntables to move loads in tight spaces.
Hydraulic Turntables
Hydraulic turntables are a great addition to your machine hauler’s equipment list.
Ensures safe and controlled rotation of heavy loads up to 450 tons.
Changing the direction of rotation is easy and the base of the charge is on the hardwood surface.
Like many of the other tools mentioned, the rotary table contains hydraulic cylinders (maybe one or two, depending on the model you choose) that do the heavy lifting.
Therefore, it must be connected to a compatible hydraulic pump to function effectively.

Low-height hydraulic cylinders (aka hydraulic flat jacks) feature a compact, low-profile design and maximum power-to-height ratio for tight space applications where other cylinders won’t fit.
CUSP, CULP and LPL low profile cylinders have a tough nitrocarburized coating for added corrosion protection.
Enerpac Pancake Cylinders sold are rated to 10,000 psi (700 bar) and are fully ASME B30.1 compliant (except BRD-RD series).

Coordinated Lifting Pumps for Heavy Machinery Moving Equipment
Load handling projects vary in size and complexity.
When lifting or lowering with multiple lifting points, a compatible lift pump will give you the high level of control and precision you need.
This means that one operator can fully control large and complex lifts with precision and absolute confidence.
There are different types of regulating lift pumps.
Split flow pumps have 2 to 8 outlets and work with a remote control pendant. Split flow pumps are a safe and economical solution if 4% or less synchronization is acceptable.
If you need more precision, the EVO system provides it and also offers advanced features such as an intuitive user interface, multiple flow options and built-in warning alarms.
A combination of high-pressure hydraulics and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) controls monitor and control each lift point.
Multiple pumps can be networked to control a total of up to 48 lifting points from one operator station.

Conclusion
An overhead crane is best when moving Heavy Machinery Moving Equipment by hand.
You can then choose a forklift to lift the machine, but this is not the first choice as most machines are heavy on the top.
The 0.5 ton chain hoist is the perfect tool if you want to move heavy equipment by hand.
