Drilling Rig Skidding System
Move Your Rig in 8 Directions
The Rig Walker allows a drilling rig to be moved laterally. Often times, rigs are disassembled, transported, and then reassembled on an adjacent well. Our oil rig skidding system - the Rig Walker - eliminates the timely, haphazard process of rig down. Our rig skidding system uses hydraulics to safely lift and traverse the entire rig with control, stability, and precision to its new drilling location.
Skid Your Rig With No Rig Down
Our oil rig skidding system includes a 2.4 million pound lift capacity which gives the users the ability to not only skid the rig but also transport full stands of setback. The Rig Walker allows your rig to skid 10 feet in 15 minutes, eliminating the need for other contractors to assist with the rig move. With no rig down, our rig skidding system means less wear on the structure, less time to relocate the oil rig, and more time spent drilling.
