Heavy Duty Skids for Machinery and Dense Loads
Solid, built to carry skids for equipment, steel and other loads that would flatten an ordinary pallet.
Serving Vancouver, Surrey, Kelowna and Calgary since 1996.
When a standard pallet isn't enough
A regular pallet is designed for typical boxed goods. Put a milling machine, a generator or a stack of steel plate on it and you’re asking for trouble. Heavy duty skids use thicker lumber, wider stringers and stronger fasteners to take that weight without bending.
We design each skid around your load. Tell us the weight, size and how it gets lifted, and we’ll recommend a build that handles it with room to spare. Many of our skids go to industrial shops, fabricators and equipment suppliers across BC and Alberta.

What makes heavy loads hard on a skid
Point loads
Machinery sits on small feet. We add support where the weight actually lands.
Forklift access
Skids are designed with openings that fit your lift equipment.
Long haul strength
Heavy freight shakes for hundreds of kilometres. We fasten it to survive.
Reuse
A good skid can be used again and again, which cuts replacement cost.

Send us the load weight, footprint and where it will be lifted.
