POWER CATWALKS
Power catwalks from Drillmec are part of the results of the investment in our rig automation program started in the early ’90s. 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.
We specially design our automated catwalks to allow easy operations and seamless integration with different types of drilling and workover rigs. For improved safety and efficiency, our power catwalks use wireless and remotely controlled panels which allow for remote operation from anywhere around the rig. This feature reduces hazards and risks around the drill floor and conventional pipe handling process thus improving safety on the rig.
