    HYDRA-SLIDE HT500 SKIDDING SYSTEM 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Original Instructions The English version of this manual is the Original Instructions for the Hydra-Slide HT500 Skidding System. All other language versions are translations of the Original Instructions. 1.2 Manufacturer Details Hydra-Slide Ltd.

  • Page 5: The Workstation

    1.3.2 Intended Use The HT500 Skidding System is used to move heavy equipment up to 500 tons (454 tonne) safely and in a controlled manner. 1.4 Safety Precautions Set up and operate the HT500 Skidding System only under the direction and supervision of experienced and qualified personnel.

  • Page 6: General Safety Precautions And Potential Misuse

    • Never use unsafe practices to bleed a pressurized hose or coupler. Use only a specially- designed coupler bleed tool such as a CT-604 Safety Tool available through Hydra-Slide Ltd. • Always ensure that jacks and cylinders are used parallel and in line with their axis. Never use a jack or cylinder at an angle or to “kick”...

  • Page 7: Operator Training

    Observing the safety precautions indicated in these Instructions minimizes the risks associated with using the HT500 Skidding System, however residual risks remain in the event of loss of control of the load while skidding. It is recommended to always use the provided stop blocks as described in Section 3.3.

  • Page 8: Assembly And Setup

    2 - ASSEMBLY AND SETUP 2.1 Track and Skid Shoe Setup • Establish a clear path for the load to be moved. • Raise load (using other means) to a sufficient height to place skid system under. • Place track under load. •...
  • Page 9 • Track sections must be set up and kept level (± 2%) and parallel (± ¼”) at all times. It may be advantageous to have a slight incline in the direction of travel, but avoid setting up or operating the system on a decline without an adequate external holdback. •...

  • Page 10: Removable Track Sections

    2.2 Removable Track Sections Under certain conditions, it may be required to temporarily remove a track section from in between two adjacent tracks. Removable track sections have been designed with connector pin slots which allow the track connector bars to recess into the track section, enabling removable track sections to be extracted from the track line without the need to remove additional track sections.

  • Page 12: Push/Pull Cylinder Setup

    2.3 Push/Pull Cylinder Setup The HT500 skidding system can be set up to operate in either Push or Pull mode. Note that if the system is to be used in Pull mode, the capacity of the system is reduced by approximately 50%.

  • Page 14: Operation

    3 – OPERATION 3.1 Hydraulic Connections • Attach suitable 10,000 psi-rated hydraulic hoses to the cylinder quick coupler fittings. Unless otherwise ordered, the couplers are standard CR400 female couplers. • Connect the other end of the hoses to a suitable hydraulic pump unit ensuring that the bottom of each cylinder is connected to the pressure port (ADV port if using a Hydra-Pac power unit) and that the top of each cylinder is connected to the return port (RET port if using a Hydra-Pac power unit).

  • Page 15: Safety Stop Blocks

    • If the load has been moved too far, simply take the push cylinders and position them into the track at the back side of the load and, as detailed above, push the load backwards as required. • When the load reaches its desired position, raise the load (using other means) to a sufficient height to remove the skid system from under and then lower the load into position.

  • Page 16: Maintenance And Adjustments

    Take special care of all hydraulic components and fittings. • Maintain skidding surfaces clean, dry and completely covered with graphite. Reapply graphite frequently depending on usage and storage conditions. • Repair or replace any broken, worn or damaged components. Contact Hydra-Slide Ltd. For replacement parts. 4.2 Troubleshooting...

  • Page 17: Transportation, Handling, And Storage

    5 - TRANSPORTATION, HANDLING, AND STORAGE • Individual components should be handled separately and with care. Weights are indicated on the nameplates of each component part. • Lift track sections only with the provided D-rings. Lift all other components using the lifting lugs or recommended lifting locations.
