The remotely operated, manually-controlled Pipemaster® Offshore Piperacker improves efficiency through positive mechanical control in horizontally storing, handling and racking of tubular goods. Adaptable to drill ships, semi-submersibles and mobile self-elevating platforms, the system semi-automatically moves drill pipe, collar and riser sections to and from the rig floor for tripping operations. The Pipemaster® Offshore Piperacker provides a system that mechanically controls and handles pipe in adverse sea states.

Key Benefits

• Positive control of drillpipe, riser and casing mechanical containment during tripping.

• Improves ships stability by lowering vessel center of gravity.

• Reduced operating cost by not having to lay down drillpipe for rig movement.

• Simplified operation, one man semi-automatic control.
