Catwalks serve not only as the staging areas for your rig and drilling tool activities, but as crucial foundations in your overall safety strategy. A well-designed catwalk significantly reduces tubular handling and minimizes operating hazards, creating a safer, more efficient rig site.

This powerful combination of improved safety and increased efficiency is why automated catwalks are rapidly becoming standard equipment on drilling and well servicing rigs. Automated power catwalks virtually eliminate human interaction with tubulars during pickup and laydown operations.

North Rig's C16 Hydraulic Catwalk is aimed at a substructure height of 16', but can be supplied with a V-door at heights from 12' to 17'. One pipe rack will support Range 3 casing and one will support Range 2 tubular. Open Belly Design for skidding over wellheads on …

A long, rectangular platform about 3 ft [0.9 m] high, usually made of steel and located perpendicular to the vee-door at the bottom of the slide. This platform is used as a staging area for rig and drillstring tools, components that are about to be picked up and run, or components that have been run and are being laid down.

The SmartCat catwalk machine for land operations features a unique design to optimize the angle of the pipe into the drill floor and includes feeding systems for drillpipe, drill collar, and casing. The built-in walking system with X-Y directional movement provides faster setup during rig moves.

The C3 hydraulic catwalk is designed to be a mobile unit, ideally suited for service with workover rigs. The C3 offers wireless or tethered remote controls and either an electric or diesel driven hydraulic power unit.

Our Automated Power Catwalks are the latest system in the market to simplify and safely speed up the handling of pipe from the pipe rack to rig floor and vice versa, dramatically reducing the risk of accidents during the most dangerous operation in rig activities. 70% of LTAs and 85% of Fatalities are related to Pipe Handling and Catwalk ...

We design and produce automatic pipe handling systems or power catwalks to work as single mechanization components or a complete hydraulic rig to support drilling processes for better pipe handling safety and efficiency.

“Catwalk” means a elongated platform to the side of a rig where pipe is laid out and lifted into the derrick. Source: Oil and Gas Drilling and Servicing Operations, Michigan Administrative Code R 408, February 8, 2013.

The C80 Triple CATWALK was specifically designed and fabricated to meet the productivity and safety needs of some of the biggest players in drilling. The design utilised the best technologies and stress analysis together 3-D modelling.
