Engineered Rigging Expands Equipment Fleet with Six Holmatro 400-Ton Skidding Systems
VALPARAISO, IND., October 30, 2025 — Engineered Rigging, an innovator in heavy lifting and rigging solutions, announced a significant investment in its national bare rental fleet with the purchase of six Holmatro 400-ton Skidding Systems. This strategic expansion dramatically increases the company’s capability to support synchronized, high-capacity horizontal load slides across the United States.
This skidding system’s unique ability to safely transport loads over a relatively large, unsupported span makes it indispensable for rail-side transfers and challenging infrastructure projects nationwide.
“We have seen an increase in demand for reliable, scalable rigging and specialized transport solutions for large projects across the United States. By stocking six 400-ton skidding systems, we eliminate logistical bottlenecks and expedite the delivery of high-capacity, precision equipment, when and where our clients need it, for complex lateral moves,” said Mike Beres, vice president of Engineered Rigging.
Engineered Rigging is dedicated to providing reliable, scalable solutions that enable clients to overcome project challenges such as difficult foundation conditions that require loads to span uneven surfaces.
Technical Advantages for Complex Projects
The Holmatro 400T system is the industry standard for precision horizontal movement, offering specific benefits that translate directly into operational efficiency:
- Equal Push/Pull Capacity: Double-acting cylinders deliver 400 tons of capacity in both the pushing and pulling directions, providing absolute control and accuracy for bi-directional slides.
- Modular Rigidity: The system utilizes extremely rigid steel beams, allowing it to span unsupported gaps common in uneven or pre-existing foundations.
- Synchronized Control: Powered by a hydraulic split-flow pump, the system ensures all skid units move simultaneously, eliminating alignment risks and enhancing safety during delicate final positioning.
- National Deployment Readiness: With six systems now committed to stock, Engineered Rigging ensures immediate availability for both short-term needs and large-scale, multi-site deployments.
An Array of Options
In addition to the Holmatro 400T skidding system, Engineered Rigging’s rental fleet includes a variety of technologies for horizontal moves including the Holmatro 200-ton Lightweight Skidding System, the Power Slide PS500 System, self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs), robot dollies and more. All models are available for rental and sale. A Tech Talk article provides additional insight into effective solutions for machinery slides.
