This is clearly an air compressor, but what does 'sur skid' mean?

Peer comment(s):
agree Bourth (X) : They possibly did once skid (could be towed), but these days it's just a steel frame on which equipment is mounted, usually for temporary locations such as oil prospecting, construction sites, etc.
