Machinery Skates Safety Awareness Course

• Learning Outcomes

This online Machinery Skates Training Course is developed for those involved in relocating heavy equipment using machinery skates—the term most commonly used in the USA—also known as machine skates or load moving skates. The course builds clear, structured knowledge by first explaining what machinery skates are, how they function, and why they are used to achieve controlled, stable movement of substantial loads. It then moves into applicable US safety and regulatory expectations, alongside a detailed overview of the different skate styles, capacities, steering arrangements, and configurations available, helping learners understand how to choose the right setup for both the load and the floor conditions. The course also covers inspection requirements, pre-use considerations, safe movement principles, communication during positioning and travel, and the correct steps to follow once the move is complete. Learning is supported by a dedicated training video and short multiple-choice knowledge checks at the end of each module. Throughout the course, strong emphasis is placed on hazard awareness, load stability, and recognising situations where machinery skates should not be used. The course concludes with a focused summary that reinforces the key learning points, making it suitable for anyone responsible for machinery movement who needs clear, practical, and compliant knowledge, supported by a recognised online certificate for the USA..
