Jack and Slide Beam Design

(OP)
Anybody familiar with these beams?
Where I can get some information on specifics of design of these beams?

Thank you

RE: Jack and Slide Beam Design

Are you referring to hydraulic slide beams, used to move heavy equipment? If so, then there are specialty companies, like Hydra-Slide, that do this for a living. You might find some help there.

RE: Jack and Slide Beam Design

Unless your application is highly unusual (and maybe then too), we've typically found it's better to work with a heavy moving company (like Burkhalter or Mammoet) than to to replicate their experience in-house. Burkhalter is especially good at coming alongside the pieces of the puzzle you already have in place (e.g. working with your crews instead of requiring a turn-key contract)

RE: Jack and Slide Beam Design

StrP88:
Yes. But, we really can’t see your problem from here, so you might get better discussion and answers if you wasted a bit of your time to actually define your problem with a enough specificity so we knew what you were actual dealing with. That description might include type of equipment and type of move being anticipated, weights, dimensions of loads, type of moving and lifting equipment on hand, etc. I’m often surprised these days that any engineering problems ever get resolved, given the way questions are asked and the way the problems are defined and presented.
