Hello everyone, we are currently facing a situation where our Case TV380 track loader has malfunctioned in the field and needs to be transported to the workshop for repairs. This heavy-duty machine weighs a little over 10,000 lbs. We have a tilt trailer equipped with a 20,000 lbs winch, but we are in search of sliders that can support heavy weights to assist in loading and unloading the track loader onto the trailer. Are there sliders available similar to furniture sliders but designed for heavier equipment? We want to avoid damaging the track drive or the trailer floor. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
To make it easier to load the trailer onto the machine, consider strategically placing dry sand in front of the tracks while winching it up. If available, a 12K Telehandler could also be used to lift the trailer.
Answer: Answer: There are heavy-duty equipment sliders available that are specifically designed for moving heavy machinery. These sliders are more robust and durable compared to regular furniture sliders to support the weight of equipment like the track loader.
Answer: Answer: Heavy-duty equipment sliders provide a smooth and stable surface for moving heavy machinery, making it easier to slide the track loader onto the trailer without causing damage to the track drive or the trailer floor.
Answer: Answer: You can search for heavy-duty equipment sliders at hardware stores, equipment rental companies, or online retailers specializing in industrial moving equipment. Be sure to select sliders that are rated for the weight capacity of the track loader.
