This modular skidding platform is designed to facilitate precise and controlled horizontal shifting of heavy loads, commonly used alongside hydraulic portal lifts, jacking masts, rotary platforms, and other power rigging equipment in industrial and shipyard settings.

The SKAT-1 SS 100 system enables reliable horizontal transport of heavy and large cargo—including ships and industrial units—over sliding tracks during rigging, installation, or maintenance tasks. It is especially suitable for use in areas with limited space or difficult access.

These modern skidding solutions are frequently integrated with other rigging technologies such as hydraulic portal lifts, jacking masts, rotary platforms, and heavy-duty cargo jacks for comprehensive rigging operations.

Common applications of the SKAT-1 SS 100 include:

• Transfer of cargo from railcars to road transport vehicles;
• Lateral unloading of oversized equipment;
• Sliding and positioning of bridge components;
• Transport under low-clearance structures such as bridges and overpasses;
• Precise horizontal placement of heavy loads in confined spaces.

Advantages of the SKAT-1 SS 100 skidding system (craneless horizontal movement)

This system supports unlimited travel distances by modularly extending the sliding path through additional portable elements. Its low clearance height of 283 mm makes it well-suited for operations in restricted height environments.

Key benefits include:

• Robust load beam design ensuring durability on uneven or empty surfaces;
• Self-resetting pushing elements eliminate the need for manual repositioning, accelerating transport time;
• Minimal maintenance requirements with easily replaceable Teflon sliding pads;
• Lightweight modular components equipped with handles and eyebolts for ergonomic handling;
• Compatibility with SKAT-2 skidding systems for complex, combined rigging tasks;
• An economical and safe alternative to crane use in challenging terrain or confined areas.

Skidding system SKAT-1 SS 100 is an indispensable tool for engineers and rigging professionals demanding precision, reliability, and safety during heavy horizontal load movement.
