What is jacking and skidding:

Jacking and skidding are techniques used to lift, move, and position heavy equipment or structures with precision and control. These methods involve the use of hydraulic jacks and other items of equipment to elevate and slide objects horizontally, allowing for safe and efficient relocation or installation.
