At Cross Country Canada, we understand the challenges you face in the pipeline industry. When you’re on the job, you need reliable equipment that gets the job done efficiently and safely. That’s why we’ve partnered with Skid Tech, bringing you the best in pipeline cribbing technology. If you’re still relying on wooden skids, it’s time to consider an upgrade. Skid Tech’s advanced interlocking skid system offers unmatched durability, safety, and ease of use—keeping your projects on track and your crew safe.
1. Why Skid Tech? Cross Country Canada Has You Covered
Interlocking Design for Maximum Stability
Wooden skids have been a staple in the industry for years, but they’re riddled with issues: they shift, break, rot, and need constant replacement. At Cross Country Canada, we’re offering Skid Tech’s interlocking skid system, which eliminates these common problems. Skid Tech’s skids feature a patented interlocking design that creates stable skid piles, providing reliable support for your pipeline in any weather condition. Whether you’re dealing with extreme heat or freezing cold, these skids stay put, ensuring a safe and stable environment for your crew.
One of the best parts? The consistent design means your team will build skid piles the same way, every time. Say goodbye to wasted time on rebuilds and hello to increased efficiency.
2. Durability That Lasts 20x Longer – Available from Cross Country Canada
Leave Wooden Skids Behind for Good
Traditional wooden skids typically last between 1-2 years—if they don’t crack or rot first. They’re vulnerable to absorbing moisture, which makes them heavy, weak, and prone to splitting. That’s why we, at Cross Country Canada, recommend switching to Skid Tech’s skids. Built from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), these skids offer unmatched durability, with a lifespan 20 times longer than that of wood.
You can count on Skid Tech skids to withstand the harshest conditions, whether it’s pouring rain or extreme cold. No more worrying about swelling or contracting skids that can cause project delays.
Material: Recycled HDPE (high-density polyethylene)
Lifetime Expectancy: 20x longer than traditional wood
Weight: 28 lbs to 35 lbs depending on size
Sizes: Available in 4' and 5' lengths
Saddle Sizes: Ranging from 8” to 42”
3. Safer for Your Crew: Built-In Handles for Easy Maneuvering
Increase Efficiency While Reducing Injuries
At Cross Country Canada, we know that safety is non-negotiable in pipeline construction. That’s why we’re proud to offer Skid Tech skids with built-in handles. Unlike traditional wooden skids, which are heavy and awkward to move, Skid Tech’s skids are designed for easy handling. The integrated handles make it simple for your crew to lift, maneuver, and stack the skids without the risk of pinch-point injuries or strain.
This added maneuverability reduces the risk of accidents, especially when loading skids onto trucks or pulling them out of ditches. With fewer injuries and more time spent on actual work, you’ll see an improvement in both safety and efficiency.
Additional Safety Benefits:
- No more skid hooks slipping—handles provide a safer, easier way to move skids.
- Lightweight design reduces fatigue and strain on your crew.
- Stability eliminates the need for constant reworking of skid piles.
4. Boost Efficiency and Cut Costs
Maximize Productivity with Skid Tech’s Time-Saving Design
Wooden skids are time-consuming, requiring frequent repairs and replacements. Every time you need to rebuild a skid pile, you’re losing time and money. Skid Tech’s skids, available through Cross Country Canada, are designed for maximum efficiency. Because they’re lightweight and easy to install, your crew will spend less time moving and positioning them, and more time laying pipe.
The pipe saddle design on the top surface ensures that your pipeline is securely cradled, reducing the risk of damage and saving you from expensive repairs down the line. The savings in labor, time, and material costs make Skid Tech a cost-effective choice for any project.
Weight per Skid: 28 to 35 lbs
