Control Line Pusher Arm

Design and Features:

• Compact version of the A-Frame System, consisting of the cart, slips and pusher arm
• Pushes the control lines to the pipe to secure control lines to pipe with clamps
• Available for use at a 45° or 90° angle from the well center
• Eliminates working from heights

Scoping MCLRS™

Design and Features:

• Eliminates control lines in the tong area from overhead sheaves and running through slips
• Simple and efficient rig-up/rig-down process that requires only three lifts and can be done in two and a half hours or less
• Standard components make the MCLRS unit portable and versatile enough to fit most rigs
• Guides can be positioned so that control line clamping can be performed from up to four sides 90° apart from each other
• Efficiency is optimized as the tongs are operated remotely on the top platform
• The unit’s small footprint maximizes rig floor space to increase efficiency of tubing running operations

Package Accessories
