Skidding techniques have been used for centuries. Enerpac has applied high-pressure hydraulics to create the Enerpac HSK Skidding Systems. The HSK skidding system is comprised of a series of skid-shoes powered by hydraulic push-pull cylinders, travelling over a pre-constructed track. A series of special PTFE coated blocks are placed on the skid-tracks to reduce friction. The skid shoes are connected by hoses to a hydraulic diesel driven power pack.

Enerpac Skidding Systems are available in several versions:

• HSKB-Series (Skid Shoe Beam) utilizes a tall skid shoe with built-in push/pull cylinders. Skidding direction can be easily switched by flipping a lever on the attached gripper box.
• HSKJ-Series (Skid Shoe Jack) provide the same functionality as the HSKB with the added benefit of having a built-in cylinder for lifting or leveling the load.
• HSKLH-Series (Low Height Skid Shoe) designed with low height skid shoes that can be linked together. The push/pull cylinder (sold separately) is connected to the first shoe. We also offer a support beam for using the thin track that is not fully supported.
