Container Skidding Systems

PALFINGER MARINE has developed a complete system for skidding and securing containers on board SOVs. The system is operated via a wireless radio remote control unit, ensuring efficient and safe handling.

Reliable Hydraulic Operation

The container skidding system is powered by hydraulic cylinders ensuring smooth, low-maintenance operation. Each line is equipped with two cylinders, one at each end, connected to the sliding line for efficient pushing of the skidding wagon and container.

Powerful and Efficient Cargo Handling

Each hydraulic cylinder provides a pulling force of 3–5 tons and, with a friction coefficient of 0.2, can push loads of 15–20 tons. Using two lines, the system can handle cargo of up to 40 tons, moving at speeds of 6–12 meters per minute.

Flexible and User-Friendly Design

Push wagons can be positioned anywhere along the sliding rails. The carrier connects easily to the sliding line – simply push down the handle for a quick, secure attachment.

Key Features

  • Operated by hydraulic cylinders (each line fitted with two)
  • Skidding length according to customer’s specification
  • Push cargo of up to 40 metric tons
  • Move cargo at 6–12 m/min
