Enerpac announces a Low-Height Skidding System, expanding the jack and slide options for heavy lift and machinery movers. The modular LH-Series Low-Height skid beams can fit in tight spaces, as small as 92mm, while still offering up to 400 ton skidding capacity with two push-pull units

Part of the Enerpac HSK-Series Skidding Systems range, the Low-Height Skidding System’s modular design comprises a series of skid beams allowing quick setup. Loads are moved by hydraulic push-pull units, travelling over special PTFE-coated pads placed on the skid tracks to reduce friction. 

The skidding system’s push-pull cylinders are powered by a standard Enerpac split flow pump to ensure each skid beam travels synchronously. It also allows bi-directional operation – at full capacity, avoiding the need to reposition cylinders when switching skidding direction.

2-in-1 design
In addition to its low height, the LH-Series offers a 2-in-1 design. It can be used either on a fully supported surface or combined with the optional track support for added rigidity when the support surface is not fully supported or when spanning a gap is necessary. This two-part design means contractors do not need to own two sets of track for various ground support conditions.

Enerpac offers several options for controlling the LH-Series skidding system. Wireless control allows the operator the freedom to view the skidding operation from multiple locations while providing complete control of all system functions. Manual controls offer a cost-effective solution by utilising manual or electrically operated hydraulic valves mounted directly on the skidding system power units.
