Oilfield Skids

Custom skid companies have been around for a long time. They specialize in making a skid, according to your customization and your needs. You can have a skid made to your exact specifications that you want the skid to be. It does not matter how unusual your specifications are for your new skid, the company will be able to handle the job and make the perfect product.

What is a Skid?

So you are saying to yourself that is great, but what is a custom skid. A skid is a steel palate with a flat structure. The skid is used to move and carry certain objects. The skid is mainly used for any machinery or any machine related equipment. The industrial skids have a variety of uses and come in all sizes. They can range from a few feet in length all the way to over 15 feet, depending on what your needs are. The most important aspect about a skid is that it has to be strong enough to be able to hold or carry the loads that they are expected to carry based on the user. So as a result, the skid has to be manufactured with materials that are strong enough to carry that load.

Skids are transported in a variety of ways. One of them is on a truck, however they can also be transported by a crane. Strength and durability are important in this project. Skids are mainly used by oil fields and petrochemical plants. So they have to be manufactured according to the needs of both companies.

Because each company is unique and will use the skid in their own way, flexibility is important. The company will have to be able to produce a skid that fits the needs of the company right from the beginning. This includes the length as well as the shape. If a company needs one skid to be say 10 feet long and the other one 12 feet long, and then the third one 19 feet long, the company is able to make all three skids to fit the company’s needs.

Shape is also important here. One may need a square skid, and another company may need a rectangle skid. These companies that make these custom skids are not only able to get the length right, but they can also get the shape right as well. The have the equipment to cut out any skid shape that you need. Because of the heavy load that they carry each is built with strength in mind.

They are made from materials that are able to handle really heavy loads as well as a variety of ways to transport them. Since this is a custom skid you can also get quality finishing for you skid to make it look attractive as well as functional. You can choose between powder coat or even wet paint to get any color that you want the skid to be. There are a lot of options when it comes to making your custom skid.

The important aspect in the making of a custom skid is turnaround time. This term references the time it takes the company to make your custom skid from the time it was ordered to the time it is delivered. If you are running a company you do not have a lot of time to wait on a custom skid. You would like to have the skid as soon as possible so that you can put it to good use in your business. If you have the need for a skid that you need it done quickly so you can use it.
