Support
Our Low Profile skidding systems are a simple, effective tool for moving heavy loads horizontally. The load, whether it is a transformer, heat exchanger, or some other heavy equipment, sits on slider plates on a guided track. The push/pull cylinder is connected to these slider plates with a pusher head. This is the piece of the system that makes contact with the load and is then pushed along by hydraulic cylinders.
UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) sliding pads contacting a smooth steel surface. Clean system, can be built with stainless steel if required.
Our standard XLP30 kit includes track sections, slider plates, all connecting hardware, and hydraulic push/pull cylinders. The full system is contained in a storage box for greater protection and portability. We can accommodate most requests for additional components or different track lengths. The hydraulic power unit and hoses are offered separately.
Frequently Used Together
TT150 Turntable
Our engineered Turntables are extremely simple and low-maintenance, and they solve a big problem: rotating any heavy or oversized load accurately and efficiently, even in areas of restricted access or clearance. Ideal for rotating items such as transformers or generators during handling and installation, they incorporate a reversible, hydraulically powered rotating mechanism for precise control.
Conventional Hydraulic Power Units
These single-circuit, cart-mounted power units are suitable for the operation of all Hydra-Slide skidding systems, turntables, and alignment shoes, as well as most double-acting jacking applications. They are suitable in applications that do not require synchronized flow rates.

The XLP150 presented a myriad of safety and productivity advantages."
Edwards Moving & Rigging used their XLP150 skidding system to remove and replace small transformers inside a high-security power plant in the southeastern US. The work site presented numerous challenges—low headroom, a confined workspace, and no forklift access—making the hand-portable and compact XLP150 an ideal solution.
