Lightweight Skidding System

Holmatro’s 200T Lightweight Skidding System is designed with extremely lightweight components so it can be easily transported, handled and set up by one or two people without the need for a forklift or extra equipment. Its modular design allows the  flexibility to adjust the system to each load’s specifications. With a 200-ton capacity, this skidding system is ideal for moving objects in confined areas and positioning heavy equipment and large objects like bridge segments.

The tracks are easy to connect to each other by means of a click system (no bolting). Stainless steel beams are placed in the tracks. With a handle on the push-pull unit  the push or pull direction of Holmatro’s lightweight Skidding System can be switched in a split of a second. The return line of the push-pull cylinders is internal, which significantly reduces the chances of this being damaged. Because the supply and return couplers are positioned next to each other on the back side of the cylinder due to the use of the internal return line, the hoses needed for ingoing and outgoing oil are of equal length. The skidding system is driven by a powerful hydraulic split-flow pump.

How Does the Holmatro
Skidding System Work?

The principle of the Holmatro Skidding System is simple: Each system consists of a set of tracks, skid beams and push-pull units with a push-pull cylinder. The load rests on the beams, which move horizontally in the tracks. To ensure maximum system capacity, the tracks are outfit with extremely low friction sliding pads. The beams are connected to the push-pull units, which are equipped with a push-pull cylinder with equal pushing and pulling capacity. This allows the system to perform both push and pull operations safely and in a controlled manner. The double-acting cylinders in the push-pull units are connected to a hydraulic pump by hoses. This powerful split flow pump has equal oil flows that can be controlled independently or together synchronously.
