Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for a skid system including a skid apparatus. The skid apparatus may include a skid frame including at least one lateral member coupled to at least one side member at a coupling location, a skid plate coupleable to at least one of the at least one lateral member or to the at least one side member, at least one skid slot extending through the skid plate, and a pipe support configured to couple to the at least one skid slot.
Claims8
A method of adapting a skid system, comprising:
- Providing a skid plate of a skid system, the skid system having a plurality of skid slots extending through a side of the skid plate, the plurality of skid slots having a length extending a majority of a length of the skid plate in rows and terminating near the edge of the skid plate;
- Aligning a base plate with multiple coupling holes of at least a portion of a support to the skid plate of the skid system, the aligning of the base plate including
- selecting from the plurality of skid slots at least two skid slots and aligning the base plate so that at least some of the multiple coupling holes of the base plate of the support align above the at least two of the plurality of skid slots while not aligning with other skid slots of the plurality of skid slots;
- and
- selecting the location on the length of the at least two of the plurality of skid slots extending a majority of the length of the skid for aligning the base plate;
- coupling the support to the skid plate using fasteners engaged in at least some of the multiple coupling holes and the at least two of the plurality of skid slots of the skid system;
- and
- adjusting a position of the support relative to the skid plate by translating movement of the base plate of the support along the at least two of the plurality of skid slots.
