On certain occasions when a heavy machine or load needs to be moved, there is very little ground clearance for machine moving skates to be placed under the machine. In such cases, you would need to lift a corner of side of the machine to lift it sufficiently to accommodate an air skate. The perfect solution would be to use hydraulic toe jacks.

Hydraulic toe jacks are designed to lift heavy machinery and other similar type loads when there is a fair amount of ground clearance. With toe-like feet, they slide under the edge of the machine to ensure stability. The lift plate is then positioned at the underside of the machine, which is then lifted clear to allow machinery moving skates to engage the load. Operated with a pump handle, lifting a heavy machine is a breeze.
