Heavy Duty Skids

AXIS Industrial manufactures heavy duty timber skids designed to provide a strong and reliable base for transporting machinery, industrial equipment, and oversized cargo. Built using durable structural timber and reinforced construction methods, these skids support heavy loads during lifting, handling, storage, and transport.

Manufactured in Western Australia, AXIS heavy duty skids are designed for demanding environments including mining operations, industrial manufacturing, and project cargo logistics. Their robust design allows equipment to be safely lifted by forklift or crane while maintaining stability during transport.

Heavy duty skids are often used as part of larger industrial export packaging systems, working alongside solutions such as Heavy Duty Timber Crates or Industrial Timber Pallets depending on the protection level required for the cargo.

Custom Timber Skids for Machinery and Industrial Equipment

Heavy duty machinery skids are commonly used when equipment requires a secure transport base but does not require a fully enclosed crate or case. Their open design allows easy forklift and crane access while providing strong structural support for heavy machinery during loading, storage, and long-distance transport.

Each skid is custom designed to match the dimensions, weight distribution, and handling requirements of the equipment being transported. Additional blocking, bracing, and mounting points can be incorporated to secure machinery and prevent movement throughout the logistics chain.

AXIS machinery skids are widely used for mining equipment, fabricated components, industrial machinery, and project cargo where a strong and reliable transport platform is required.

For export shipments, machinery skids are often combined with preservation systems such as VpCI Corrosion Preservation or sealed protective packaging to help ensure equipment arrives in optimal condition.
