This modular sliding platform is designed to facilitate complex rigging, installation, and construction operations in confined spaces, enabling safe and efficient cargo relocation without the use of cranes.

SKAT-1 SS 250 ensures smooth and controlled horizontal displacement of heavy cargo along modular sliding tracks, widely used in shipbuilding, machinery manufacturing, and industrial logistics. The system integrates seamlessly with hydraulic lifts, jacking masts, rotating turntables, and push-pull rigging equipment for complex handling tasks.

Typical applications of the skidding system SKAT-1 SS 250 include:

• Transfer of heavy equipment from railcars to trucks;
• Lateral unloading of industrial machinery;
• Sliding bridge sections and structural components;
• Movement of loads under low-clearance bridges and overpasses;
• Installation and positioning of cargo in restricted spaces.

Benefits of the SKAT-1 SS 250 heavy-duty skidding system

The modular design allows extension of the sliding path using additional portable elements, enabling transport over unlimited distances. The low profile height of 283 mm makes it suitable for operations in areas with height restrictions.

Key technical advantages include:

• Robust load beam construction capable of handling uneven and challenging surfaces;
• Self-resetting pushing mechanism eliminates manual repositioning, reducing operational time;
• Minimal maintenance with only Teflon sliding pads as consumables, which are easy to replace;
• Lightweight, portable modular elements equipped with ergonomic handles and lifting eyes for easy transport;
• Compatibility with SKAT-2 systems for combined maneuvering and complex rigging;
• Optimal alternative to crane use in confined or difficult terrain environments.

SKAT-1 SS 250 skidding system is an essential rigging tool for engineers and operators demanding precision, safety, and efficiency when moving heavy and oversized loads horizontally.
