FAQ ABOUT Skid Mounted Valve

Skid mounts are efficient methods of transporting and storing machinery meant for military and industrial purposes. Essentially, the machinery is permanently mounted on a frame or a metal pallet or onto rails. Then the equipment can be conveniently and securely transported and used as a unit. A unit, for example a fire-fighting Skid unit, may also be temporarily placed onto a vehicle to enable it for a specific task.

Skid-mounted equipment makes parallel fabrication possible for the first time. A skid-mounted block starts its journey as as a framework of steel on the shop floor of the factory. At the same time, work proceeds at normal speed at the point of installation, with related cables and pipes being installed right at the site of construction while avoiding workers getting in each other’s path. The operational components and vessels, instrumentation equipment and spooling is then added in layers above the skid framework, transforming the basic skeleton of this rectangle shaped outline into a working processing block. The only thing remaining now is to test-drive the contraption at the point where it's fabricated. Finally, it the skid leaves the facility, as a rectangular frame that's meant for convenient freight haulage and easy incorporation into the main plant equipment.
