Every rig operator is looking for greater efficiency and safer operations at the same time. A rig equipped with Drillmec’s Iron Roughnecks significantly increases overall performance: speed in screwing and unscrewing the pipes, efficiency reducing risk of errors and breakages and safety reducing crew injuries. Drillmec automated Power Catwalk accomplishes both in easy to operate and extremely reliable equipment. Conventional racking boards are available as well as Drillmec’s advanced racking board with automated pneumatic or hydraulic latches and stand racker and maker systems. Drillmec catheads apply the correct connection torque, reducing wear on expensive components, and avoiding connection failures.
