new product launch: introducing the new aluminium skate & track system

The aluminium skate has been rigorously tested and confirmed as ‘heavy-duty’ skates as they are capable of a lifting capacity of 1,600kg per pair – setting the new market standard as the lightest, yet heaviest load capacity skate available to buy. Our skates also feature the same rollers that are used in our steel skates and have a larger load rating than competitors’ skates.

All of our skates, including the steel and aluminium types, are manufactured in our in-house facility that’s based in Liverpool, United Kingdom, which has been manufacturing the world-renowned ‘Joloda skate’ for 60 years.

We currently have developed one aluminium skate (product code: SAS110A3080K) however, we will continue to develop this product into a variety of different lengths and sizes and variations including a headless-type, much like our steel skate type where there are 22 variations, to ensure our clients' and skate users have an aluminium skate to suit their needs.

Global Sales Manager for aluminium skates, Arjan Nobel, commented: “It’s great to launch the aluminium skate to the market. Our skate and track loading systems are one of our most popular products, which is why we’re still selling them 60 years on.

“Understanding the client needs is essential and there’s a requirement for this product in the market, as so many pallets that our skates move on a day-to-day basis are below the 1,600kg limit, so this skate really makes sense. 

“Our technical team have done a fantastic job developing the aluminium skate, making it as lightweight as it is, whilst achieving such a high load capacity. I’m very proud of the work they’ve done and excited to take this product to market.”
