Hydra-Slide Systems

Hydra-Slide HT500 Heavy Track

Hydra-Slide Heavy Track skidding systems are one of the most cost-effective and accurate methods for moving, loading or unloading all types of heavy loads where a rigid, load carrying track is required. The HT500 has a total height of only 8″ (205 mm). This saves jacking time and is ideal for working in confined spaces. Engineered for pushing 500 tons (453 tonnes) and pulling 250 tons (227 tonnes) with standard double track layout.
