USA-based Engineered Rigging has added a Holmatro 200-ton (181.4-tonne) capacity lightweight skidding system to its fleet.
Engineered Rigging said that the model is easy to transport, store and operate, and can be quickly set up by one or two people without a forklift or additional equipment. “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 company explained.
Its modular design allows it to be configured to each load’s exact specifications, while the tracks are easy to connect to each other by means of a click pin system which requires no additional tools or bolting. Stainless steel slide beams with a unique finger locking system are then placed in the tracks. With a handle on the push-pull unit, the direction of Holmatro’s system can be easily switched.
Engineered Rigging’s rental kit includes two push-pull units, a split-flow pump, track and skid beams, hydraulic hoses polarized for the system and a storage frame.
The company recently expanded its fleet with Holmatro ring climbing cylinders as well as with equipment from Enerpac, adding SBL500 and SBL600 hydraulic gantries earlier this year.
