A rotating-equipment skid
A driver, a coupling and a driven machine on one stiff base. Sizes follow your equipment datasheet; the model shows a compressor set with an access platform.

Heavier bases for rotating equipment: deep-section frames that keep a compressor, generator or large pump in line, with the platforms, ladders and piping that go with them. The machine is yours; the steel it sits on is ours.
Scroll: the camera moves to each part in turn and ends on the exploded view. Drag to turn it round yourself.

02 / 08
Rotating machines need a base that does not flex. Heavy sections are cut, bevelled and drilled on CNC lines, then welded to a set sequence and checked for flatness before anything else goes on.
Used here for: Deep, stiff and square
Used here for: Deep, stiff and square
Heavy profiles that need precise holes, where plasma cannot do the job: the lower structure and panel borders of a ground flare, and every bolted PEB and multi-storey frame.
03 / 08
Pedestal tops are milled once the frame is welded, so driver and driven machine share one plane.
Used here for: Machined after welding
04 / 08
Seal-welded tray and checker-plate deck, drained to one point.
05 / 08
Spools and supports fabricated together, so pipe loads go into the steel and not into the machine.
06 / 08
A grated platform with handrail and a ladder, built as part of the skid so operators reach the top of the machine without scaffolding.
Used here for: Access on the skid
07 / 08
Bolted coupling guard; four padeyes for a single lift.
08 / 08
Base, deck, pedestals, supports, piping and fittings: each one is a separate, numbered item on the drawing register and in the packing list.
We fabricate to your drawings and prove the fit in our own bay before anything ships. Open any line for the detail.
