The SGS Hydraulic Vehicle Positioning Wheel Skates are ideal for professional mechanics, automotive restorers, and home garage enthusiasts who need to move non-running or precision-positioned vehicles with ease. By lifting the vehicle directly from the wheels, these jacks eliminate the need for frame contact, saving time and preventing damage, though the 17kg individual weight per skate requires a degree of physical strength for frequent setup and storage.

No, these skates are designed for use on smooth, level, and hard surfaces like concrete or sealed garage floors.
These skates are compatible with a maximum tyre profile of 270mm.
While durable, it is recommended to store vehicles on jack stands if the car will be sitting for an extended period to prevent hydraulic pressure loss.
Each individual skate weighs 17kg.
Yes, you can use two skates to move one end of a vehicle, but using four provides full 360-degree mobility.
The castors are designed for smooth mobility; if you need to keep the car stationary, ensure it is on a perfectly level surface.
Check the release valve to ensure it is fully closed, and verify the hydraulic oil level.
Inspect the 100mm castors for debris or flat spots and clean the floor surface of any grit.
Ensure the tyre is centered within the reinforced aluminium contact points and the jaw is fully tightened.
To set up, ensure the skates are on a level surface. Slide the skates firmly against the tyre before engaging the hydraulic mechanism. Always ensure the vehicle is in Neutral with the parking brake released before attempting to move it.
Regarding compatibility, verify that your tyre profile does not exceed 270mm. Maintenance is minimal: periodically check the hydraulic fluid levels and ensure that the swivel castors are free of gravel, metal shavings, or dirt. Keep the pivot points lightly lubricated to maintain smooth rotation. When not in use, store the units in a dry location to prevent moisture buildup within the hydraulic cylinders.
