When your product tips the scale in the tens (or even hundreds) of tons, you simply must call Chick. We have has unsurpassed capability in the design and fabrication heavy-duty skids for such immense (and extraordinarily expensive) items as 100,000-pound oilfield pumps, 300,000-pound turbine rotors or 400,000-pound nuclear-powered generators.

Particularly when skidding for ocean transit, where a payload can be exposed to forces along six axes of movement (roll, pitch, yaw, heave, surge, and sway) and where shifting of such massive loads can spell disaster, it is critical to have the strongest, most comprehensive skids possible. Chick’s knowledge of these complex forces and our experience working with timbers, steel beams and other structural materials assures protection of our customers’ highly-valued products during worldwide shipment and storage.
