Engineered Rigging Reimagines Heavy Transport: New Power Slide Moves Massive Loads Without a Crane

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 info@engineeredrigging.com 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:

  • 200 ton — 4-inch height, light-duty slide shoes
  • 300 ton — 5-inch height, 75-ton slide shoes
  • 500 ton — 6-inch height, 125-ton slide shoes
  • 1,000 tons to 2,000+ tons engineered and fabricated to specification

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:

  • Modularity — easy handling, shipping and setup
  • Push and Pull Functionality — flexibility for reduced time and costs
  • Quick Direction Adjustment — simple lever change switches from push to pull
  • Continuous, Automated Push/Pull Cycle — improved efficiency and durability
  • Built-In Lift Lugs — hook ready for quick, secure handling
  • Rapid Assembly — fewer parts, rig ready and longer spans
