Jacking and skidding is a technique employed when space limitations prohibit the use of a crane.
Climbing jacks are hydraulic and allow you to raise and lower heavy loads in a controlled manner.
Cylinder jacks lift loads to a position where climbing jacks can be placed underneath and transport the goods further. Once the climbing jack has been moved out of the way, they can also lower the load to ground level.
Strand jacks feature a hydraulic cylinder. This moves a cable through the jack, allowing the attached load to be lifted or lowered.
Skidding systems are also hydraulically controlled and enable precise positioning across a variety of industrial projects. They are made up of two main components – skid shoes and skid beams. Both the load and skid shoes travel along the skid beams using a self-locking hydraulic propulsion system.
