Drilling Rig Movers

The drilling rig arrived on location at the border job, as predicted the weather was not nice, but things went better than they could have....

that lil bitty baby drlg rig lol. i could move it solo with a truck and a forklift. yall talkin bout cranes and such. learn to roughneck

@briangaylortoolyman Interesting to get the American perspective, "yall"... I've seen the videos from south of the border, can't believe the ancient garbage "yall" call rigs...yes this itty bitty rig in the video is a small one, why would we use a bigger one if we didn't need it? We are using one right now that can drill to 14,700 ft in as little as 19 truck loads, state of the art, and it takes a Canadian company to do it, ...rig smarter... "yall"

we have several of these tandems , some of them built in Canada ......ramping the draw works nice ..... we have 100 ton 85 ton cranes . great video

@jmecrg They are amazing machines, I watched some of yours, some big rigs being set up, some big ones in Canada too, I just don't work for the oil companies going that deep...did work on a couple Shell jobs , they have been using some very large walking rigs of Nabors for multihole pads

I don't know much about rigs, but I know there's good money shifting them! Especially long distance! Btw, I feel sorry for that 4 axle KW, shoved by a dozer like that!
