Pipeline skids manufactured from D40/D50 grade hardwood oak provide a robust and dependable solution for supporting pipework and heavy equipment on UK construction sites. These durable timber skids are designed to elevate pipelines off the ground, assist with racking and cribbing, and withstand demanding site conditions. Size available: 1.4m x 180mm x 130mm, with additional size options on request.
Pipeline skids are an essential solution for safe and controlled pipe installation across construction and groundworks projects. Manufactured from D40/D50 grade hardwood oak, these timber skids provide the strength and durability required to support substantial loads during pipeline handling and positioning.
Designed for demanding site environments, these hardwood skids are commonly used to elevate pipes off the ground, prevent contamination, and manage alignment during installation. Their robust construction ensures long-term performance even under repeated heavy loading.
Â
- Construction-grade hardwood – Manufactured from D40/D50 oak to deliver consistent strength and durability under high load conditions.
- Effective pipe elevation – Raises pipelines safely off the ground to support cribbing and reduce direct soil contact during installation.
- Reliable load performance – Suitable for supporting heavy pipe sections and machinery movement across groundworks environments.
- Versatile site use – Often referred to as timber skids, dunnage or pipe supports across civil engineering projects.
Pipeline skids play a critical role in maintaining safety, stability and efficiency during pipework installation. By elevating pipelines off the ground, these d40 timber skids help maintain alignment while preventing damage from moisture, debris and uneven terrain. Their structural integrity makes them suitable for use on major infrastructure works, utilities projects and large-scale civil engineering developments.
Hardwood skids are frequently used as part of pipeline racking systems, supporting sections of pipe prior to welding or jointing. The solid oak construction offers dependable load-bearing performance, reducing the risk of movement during installation. This stability is particularly important when handling large diameter steel or composite pipes where precision alignment is required. In addition to pipe support, timber skids can also assist with moving heavy machinery components across site environments. Their durable build ensures they withstand the repeated pressures associated with active construction zones. For contractors seeking reliable ground support equipment within the bog mats and timber mats category, these pipeline skids provide a practical and cost-effective solution.
HERMEQ stock a wide range of Ground Mats, Bog Mats, Trench Covers & Road Plates conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.
