Skidding System

TSC Offshore can supply both cantilever and rig skidding systems incorporating skid cylinders, skidding and locking claws, roller wagons and controls with breakout capacities of 1700 kips per side.

The locking claw is fitted with a hydraulic sequence valve to automatically retract it when the skidding cylinders are actuated. The skidding claw load pins are spring extended to engage automatically with the holes of the skid track.

Typically each system is supplied with its own dedicated hydraulic power unit.
