The Hydra-Slide staff and products are second to none. The system and support have been, and continue to be, well over our expectations, and we could not be happier."

A Hydra-Slide HT500 skidding system and TT500 turntable combined to provide an effective alternative to a crane as heavy transport and rigging firm Dynamic Specialized replaced a transformer at a facility in Northern Virginia. The scope of work covered the removal and relocation of the old transformer, followed by positioning of a larger transformer on the vacated foundation. The HT500 was employed to slide the loads, while the turntable rotated the larger transformer 90 degrees—all while leaving the transformer fully dressed.

The transformer was originally scheduled to be disassembled, drained, and have all of its bushings removed in order to be moved by crane. It was decided that the heavier transformer could be skidded fully dressed from its storage location to its final pad and rotated via turntable to create clearance for the radiators. This method shaved several days off the original schedule, as the unit did not have to be disassembled or reassembled in its final position.
