100 to 180 t capacity for folded masts
The dedicated frame carries folded masts at a 100 to 180 tonne moving capacity, sized to the mast load rather than the whole rig weight, so derricks move without being split into lattice sections.
Rig Moving Systems
Rig Mast Moving Equipment
This carrier is purpose-built for the folded telescopic mast: 80 to 150 tonne rig masts move on a 100 to 180 tonne rated frame, at 10 km per hour, with 600 mm clearance and an 11,000 mm road-width allowance. The mast stays folded and intact, pulleys, lines and hydraulic piping still rigged, rather than being split into sections for transport, which is what protects the 28 m to 38 m lattice structure from the twist and weld damage that repeated teardown causes. At 10 km per hour it is the fastest of the site moving units, because the folded mast rides narrower and lighter than the substructure or whole-rig carrier. It pairs with the main moving system on the same cluster-well location, dedicated to the mast so that derrick erection, spotting and re-location stay within the 150 to 850 hp XJ range.
Core advantages
Designed around the operating requirement.
80 to 150 t masts, 28 to 38 m lattice
It handles 80 to 150 tonne XJ masts across the 28 m to 38 m double-section telescopic lattice range, with adjustable fixtures set to the mast height at order time.
10 km/h shift, the fastest site mover
At 10 km per hour the mast carrier moves faster than the 8 km/h whole-rig and auxiliary units, because the folded mast is narrower and lighter once it lies down.
11 m road width, folded-mast footprint
An 11,000 mm road-width allowance matches the folded-mast footprint, between the 6.6 m auxiliary routes and the 12 m whole-rig envelope.
Hydraulic lift-and-shift keeps lines rigged
Multi-point hydraulic lifting and shifting carries the folded mast as one piece, so pulleys, wire lines and hydraulic piping stay connected and no secondary re-rigging follows the move.
600 mm clearance, -17 to +55 degree
600 mm ground clearance and a -17 to +55 degree rated operating envelope let the mast carrier work across cold plateaus, deserts and wind-sand Gobi sites year round.

Application
Where this equipment is used.
- Moving folded telescopic masts of 80–150 tonnes on the 100–180 tonne rated frame, at up to 10 km/h with 600 mm clearance.
- Long-distance transfer of 28–38 m lattice masts between remote wells, keeping pulleys, lines and hydraulic piping rigged.
- Frequent short-cycle relocation between wells in hilly or mountainous blocks where repeated teardown would risk mast damage.
- Low-loss precision moving of ultra-deep rig masts in high-altitude and cold-region fields.
- Batch relocation and standardised deployment of several rig masts within one block.
- Rapid mast shifting during emergency workover mobilisation under harsh field conditions.

Buyer questions
Frequently asked about this equipment.
The rig mast moving equipment questions cover mast weight range, transport method and disassembly needs.
Does the Rig Mast Moving Equipment need to disassemble mast accessories during transfer?
No. The folded mast travels as one unit on the moving dolly: internal pulleys, wire line, hydraulic lines and electrical harness stay connected. The move is a lift-and-place rather than a strip-and-rebuild, which avoids component loss and re-alignment between wells.
What types of rig masts is this equipment compatible with?
It fully covers all telescopic lattice masts of 150HP to 850HP XJ series workover rigs, adapting to 28m to 38m different height specifications. The adjustable modular structure can match light, medium and ultra-heavy mast models, realizing full-product-line universal application.
Can it protect the mast structure from deformation during long-distance moving?
Yes. Equipped with multi-point synchronous lifting and balanced stress structure, the equipment uniformly bears the mast load, avoiding local torsion and bending deformation caused by uneven force. The double anti-vibration and locking design ensures stable and firm mast fixation during long-distance transportation, fully protecting the structural accuracy of high-precision masts.
What is the biggest advantage compared with traditional mast moving methods?
A traditional mast move splits the mast into sections, lifts each with crane and re-assembles on location, which adds crane days and invites fit-up error. This carrier moves the folded 28 m to 38 m mast as one piece at up to 10 km per hour, with pulleys, lines and hydraulic piping still rigged, so no second calibration follows the move. The saving is shorter well-to-well time on a cluster block rather than a lower per-job price.
Is intelligent monitoring and control function support available?
Yes. The control package is settled against the rig before the order: balance correction, real-time mast stress monitoring, remote wireless control and automatic fault alarm are selected to match the mast height and the site layout, then written into the quotation. The monitoring readout follows the lift and shift so the operator sees mast stress and frame balance through the whole move.
