What is Skid Construction for Industrial Installations?
Skid construction for industrial installations is a method where complete technical systems are pre-assembled on a robust, prefab frame – a skid.
At Industrial Air Company, we fully assemble and test these skids in our workshop in Almelo. They are then installed on-site as a single unit, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability in the installation process.
A skid often contains components such as:
-
Heat pumps or coolers
-
Buffer tanks and fittings
-
Control technology, management, and sensors
-
Pipes and connections
Thanks to this approach, the installations are immediately deployable and fully tailored to the customer’s production process.
Benefits of Skid Construction for Industrial Environments
Skid construction is particularly suitable for industrial applications where reliability, speed, and scalability are crucial.
The benefits of skid construction for industrial installations at a glance:
✔ Quick on-site installation
✔ Less production downtime
✔ Prefab tested and optimized
✔ Lower failure rate and higher reliability
✔ Easy to maintain and expand
That’s why more and more customers are choosing this smart prefab solution.

Practical Example: Heat Pump Skid with Expansion Capability
A great example of skid construction for industrial installations is a recent project where we delivered an advanced skid with two heat pumps.
This skid:
-
Was fully prefab assembled and tested in Almelo
-
Is prepared for expansion to three heat pumps
-
Provides heating and cooling for a large air handling unit
-
Keeps the climate in the packaging and storage hall stable
As a result, the temperature and humidity remain constant – essential for the quality of the end product and comfort on the work floor.
