LAS VEGAS - Engineered Rigging, innovators in motion, today unveiled its new Power Slide System, which delivers a safe, simple and efficient way to move overweight, oversized loads in tight quarters.
Comprised of skid shoes, which are powered by hydraulic push/pull cylinders over high-strength flat-topped track, Power Slide is ideal for moving components such as turbines, generators, transformers, vessels and motors, especially when space limitations and costs preclude using a crane. Power Slide demonstrations are available at Engineered Rigging's Arkansas facility or via video (http://engineeredrigging.com/power-slide-system/). To learn more, visit Engineered Rigging at POWER-GEN in Las Vegas, December 8–10, Booth 1133, or contact [email protected] to schedule a demonstration.
The system's high-capacity design and versatile configuration enable it to move loads ranging from 50 to 2,000+ tons. Its rugged construction withstands daily use and extreme loads. Power Slide's low track height reduces jacking requirements enhancing load and project safety. With a state-of-the art fabrication facility in Russellville, Ark., Engineered Rigging can quickly design and fabricate with domestic materials customized systems and standard capacities, including:
Unique Design
Engineered Rigging's novel flat-topped track makes the Power Slide easier to set up, use and maintain than traditional jack-and-slide systems. It's also less expensive to fabricate. Innovative features, include:
