Racking Board Pipe Handling

Automated Rig Technologies specializes in designing highly efficient and safe racking board pipe handling systems. Our group designed and built the land-based industries first Iron Derrickman® - now a product offered by Weatherford. Our system offers the following benefits:

  • Easy integration into land and offshore drilling rigs, including double or triple masts.

  • Compact, lightweight design that is simple to rig up/down and stays in place during rig moves.

  • Elimination of wind walls on the racking board and reduced risk for Derrickman climbing the mast during pad, directional, and under-balanced drilling operations.

  • Operation from the rig floor via portable radio control or hard-wired panel, increasing safety for Derrickman and other rig personnel.

  • Secure pipe retention system that keeps pipes in place where the operator places it.

  • User-friendly interface with minimal training required, allowing operators to efficiently rack pipes.
