Heavy Lift Skidding Systems
Heavy Lift Skidding Systems
Allelys have a range of skidding equipment available to move heavy loads into position.
Specialist heavy lift skidding systems
Heavy lift skidding systems comprise of two main elements, skid beams, also commonly referred to as trackway, and skid shoes, also referred to as skates. A self-locking hydraulic propulsion system is then used to move the skates and the load along the trackway.
The systems are versatile and easy to position on site. The movement is hydraulically controlled enabling precision positioning. The trackway is often positioned on top of steel stools to achieve the desired height. Allelys also own and operate specialist components including cross-roads for changing direction and bridging pieces for crossing walls.
