100 to 200 t moving capacity for auxiliary skids
The skidding frame moves mud-pump, power-unit, manifold and control-cabin skids at a 100 to 200 tonne rated capacity, the auxiliary side of the site rather than the main rig weight.
Rig Moving Systems
Moving System for Drilling Rig Matched Equipment
Where the main rig carrier moves 300 to 480 tonnes, this system moves the support side: generator-room and auxiliary skid sets of 80 to 160 tonnes, with a moving capacity of 100 to 200 tonnes on a 3-1/2 inch traction pin. The narrower footprint shows in the numbers, a 6,600 mm required road width and 500 mm ground clearance against the 12 m-wide main mover, because mud-pump skids, power units, manifold skids, control cabins and solid-control units follow tighter pad routes than the rig itself. At 8 km per hour maximum, multi-point hydraulic skidding carries each ancillary unit intact, piping and wiring still connected, so the auxiliary spread re-positions without a teardown. It is the companion to the whole-rig carrier, sized to the 150 to 850 hp workover range but rated for the lighter, dispersed loads that cluster-well campaigns generate.
Core advantages
Designed around the operating requirement.
80 to 160 t generator-room set rating
Generator-room set trailers of 80 to 160 tonnes ride on the system, with the 3-1/2 inch traction pin rated to pull the dispersed support spread between well slots.
3-1/2 inch pin on a 6,600 mm route
The 3-1/2 inch traction pin and 6,600 mm road-width allowance set the compact footprint that lets auxiliary skids follow tighter pad paths than the 12 m-wide whole-rig carrier.
500 mm clearance over tight pad routes
500 mm minimum ground clearance keeps the skid frame clear of culverts and pad obstacles on the narrower routes the support equipment travels.
Multi-point skidding keeps piping connected
Multi-point hydraulic skidding lifts and shifts the ancillary skid as one unit, so pipelines, wiring harnesses and fixed connections stay intact and no post-move re-teardown is needed.
8 km/h shift for follow-up moves
The support units follow the main rig at up to 8 km per hour, repositioning with the cluster-well campaign so the mud, power and control spread lands when the rig does.

Application
Where this equipment is used.
- Moving generator-room and auxiliary skid sets of 80–160 tonnes on the 100–200 tonne rated system, at up to 8 km/h.
- Relocating mud-pump skids, power units, manifold skids, control cabins and solid-control units on tighter pad routes than the main mover.
- Keeping piping and wiring connected through the move so each ancillary unit re-positions without teardown.
- Frequent well-slot switching on cluster pads where the auxiliary spread must follow the rig quickly.
- Batch relocation of several rig auxiliary systems within one block, with standardised deployment.
- Emergency support-equipment shifting under harsh field conditions for fast drilling or workover resumption.

Options for a matched equipment scope.
Available configurations can be matched to the equipment model, operating conditions and project requirements.
- Bearing and span: skid bearing grade, span size and positioning fixtures matched to auxiliary equipment weight.
- Synchronous control: automatic skidding and load-deviation correction for high-precision moves.
- Cold-climate package: low-temperature hydraulic start and full-system heat preservation for high-altitude sites.
- Road provisions: anti-sink wide-base skid shoes and buffer structure for soft sand and muddy routes.
- Control: remote wireless centralised control and synchronous positioning for the spread.
- Monitoring: skid stress, horizontal flatness and hydraulic pressure monitored in real time.
Buyer questions
Frequently asked about this equipment.
Buyers evaluating matched moving equipment usually ask which rig components travel and the rated capacity.
Does matched equipment need disassembly during system relocation?
No disassembly required. The auxiliary equipment travels on its own skid as one integrated unit — piping, wiring and fixed fittings stay connected — so the move is a lift-and-place rather than a strip-and-rebuild. This avoids component loss and alignment drift between wells, which is the failure mode that eats the move window on multi-well pads.
What types of rig auxiliary equipment can be matched?
The system carries the support side of the 150 hp to 850 hp workover fleet: mud-pump skids, power-unit skids, hydraulic-manifold skids, electrical control cabins and solid-control units. The adjustable skid frame is set at order time to the footprint and load of each auxiliary unit in the spread, so the generator-room set and the mud skid move on the same 100 to 200 tonne carrier rather than separate trucks.
Can the system protect auxiliary equipment and pipelines from damage?
Yes. The skid mover carries each auxiliary unit on multi-point hydraulic skidding that keeps the load platform level through the move, so piping and wiring stay connected and the skid lands level at the next slot without a secondary levelling crew. The 100–200 tonne moving capacity and 6,600 mm road-width envelope are the published numbers to check against the heaviest generator-room or mud-pump skid in the spread.
What are the core advantages compared with traditional auxiliary equipment moving?
A traditional move lifts each auxiliary skid separately and hauls it by truck, which adds crane time, risks pipeline damage and needs re-levelling on arrival. This system shifts the mud-pump, power-unit and manifold skids as a synchronized set on their 100 to 200 tonne frame, piping and wiring still connected, at up to 8 km/h. The auxiliary spread lands when the rig does, with no second re-levelling or pressure testing of the lines.
Can intelligent monitoring and remote control functions be customized?
Intelligent options are scoped to the auxiliary spread rather than the main rig: load-balancing correction across the generator-room trailer and the mud and power skids, real-time stress and flatness readout on the 100 to 200 tonne skidding path, and remote wireless operation from the control cabin. Because these units move at 8 km per hour on 6,600 mm routes with a 3-1/2 inch traction pin, automatic fault alarm on the hydraulic locks and clearance monitoring at the 500 mm figure can be added at order time.
