Pipe Handling Equipment

Weatherford’s Iron Derrickman® pipe-handling systems mechanize the process of lifting and moving stands of drillpipe and collars from hole center to programmed coordinates in the racking board. These tools offer a significant improvement in safety and productivity by eliminating the human derrickman position and moving floor hands out of harm’s way. Mechanizing the pipe racking process improves efficiency and operating consistency. The system marks a major advancement in hands-free handling of tubulars on double and triple rigs.

Designed to mount with little or no modification to standard double and triple masts, the system vertically lifts and racks double and triple stands of drillpipe, heavyweight drillpipe, and drill collars. The design combines innovative mechanical engineering, positive control of hydraulic closed-loop proportional circuitry, electrical remote motion controls, and a human/ machine interface screen for ease of operation.
