Synchronous Horizontal Skidding, Pushing & Pulling Technology

———— High-Capacity Skidding Systems for Controlled, Continuous, and Safe Movement

YIPU’s horizontal skidding and pulling systems utilize PTFE/SS low-friction tracks, high-capacity push–pull cylinders, and pulse synchronous control algorithms to provide safe and reliable horizontal movement for heavy structures.
The system supports continuous skidding, step-by-step movement, and multi-point pulling, adapting to a wide range of engineering conditions.

Through real-time analysis of cylinder stroke, pushing force, and friction variations, the system maintains structural stability during long-distance or heavy-load movements.

Key Features

  • Capacity for 100–1,500-ton skidding operations
