These low profile, 3-Point Load Moving Systems are perfect for moving over finished floors. They are currently available in load moving capacities of 6, 12, and 18 tons with additional load capacities coming soon. Choose from Nylon, Polyurethane, or Steel rolls to suit your moving requirements.
Hilman Rollers’ Tri-Glide three-point moving system is designed for moving heavy loads over specially coated floors. It is comprised of a front steering unit and two rear adjustable units. Additional modules can be added to further stabilize large, bulky loads. Hilman Rollers’ Tri-Glide was developed in response to a growing demand for floor protection when moving heavy loads over smooth, painted, finished, or sealed floors. Currently available in six, twelve, and eighteen-ton capacities, the Tri-Glide is another safe, efficient, reliable product from the makers of Hilman Rollers.

Because of the all-steel construction of Hilman Rollers, virtually any part or the entire Roller can be modified. We present some of the most common options and modifications:
- Accu-Roll
- Corrosion Resistance
- Hydraulic Integration
- Keyway Rollers
- Rocker Tops and Turntables
- Tapered Radius Rollers
- Wipers
- Pads
A turntable with aggressive anti-slip pattern on top and bearings underneath allow the crawler to rotate under the machine being moved. Two steel tracks (compare to a dozer) allow the crawler to push, pull and turn 360 degrees. The track pads are smooth enough and the edges are rounded so the floors do not get marked or scratched. Four sets of tandem roller carriages (two per track) allow the tracks to follow the contour of the concrete and help distribute the weight of the load evenly.
The Hilman Traksporter systems integrate a three point moving system where the front steerable unit is fully powered and operated by remote control. This design offers accuracy, ease of use, and safety.
The Hilman Motorized Roller System
The Hilman Motorized Roller System is the latest innovation from Hilman Rollers, and makes moving the heavyweights even easier. As the name implies, the Hilman Motorized Roller is a fully powered version of our chain-action Hilman Roller.
Designed to be used on a steel track; the Hilman Motorized Roller is a low-profile, high-capacity solution for permanent, repetitive movement of heavy objects.
Hilman can supply a complete Motorized Roller System; with steel track, power unit and Motorized Hilman Rollers.

The HIlman Toe Jacks allow you to get under and lift equipment with just over 1″ of ground clearance (1.06″ to be exact) and since there are lifting points on both the toe and the top of the jack these are the perfect complement to Hilman Rollers.
Our Toe Jacks all comply with ASME B30.1 standards and include pressure valves to prevent overloading. In addition, our 5 & 10 ton models can operate both horizontally and vertically. Since the base, toe and pump assembly swivel completely independently of each other, you can fit the jack in confined spaces.
Or course, these Toe Jacks come with Hilman’s famous quality reputation.

Other than rollers…
Hilman Rollers can supply custom steel fabrications for a variety of components to be integrated, or used in conjunction, with our heavy-duty rollers. We have designed and built several heavy-duty carts that utilize our rollers to move heavy equipment and materials
Occasional applications may benefit from the integration of hydraulic cylinders, either as motive force or to lift a load for a specific reason; or both. Hilman has supplied several different combinations of hydraulically integrated skidding systems for use on land and at sea. Hilman can provide complete controls for a turnkey solution.
Motive Force can be applied in any number of ways. Solid chain-drive systems and/or hydraulic push-pull cylinders are just a couple of the solutions that Hilman Rollers has supplied with complete control systems for easy user interface
Precision machined steel tracks can be manufactured and supplied by Hilman for rollers outfitted with Accu-Roll Guidance Systems.
The combination of a low friction and accurately guided roller can be very useful, especially if the distance is great and the final placement needs to be precise. Additionally, if the item being moved requires careful handling, it is
better to integrate the rollers with some type of uniform track for maintaining positive alignment and accuracy during a move.
Hilman Rollers with Accu-Roll work best on steel flat bars and structural shapes; such as inverted channels, I-beams and Wide-flanged beams. When selecting a track it is important to make certain that the width and thickness properly accommodate the width of a roller’s footprint where it is in contact on the track. It is also important to consider the sub-surface of the track for proper support.
Other components for customized systems are available through our engineering specialists.
