- This style of gripping system can be designed to move up to 1000 tons. This system requires a slotted beam.
- In order to push or pull the rig, the jacking
claws will rotate either clockwise or counter clockwise for
pushing or pulling modes. (as highlighted in attached pictures
and identified as the "jacking claws"). In the clockwise
or down position: the engagement of the gripper box assembly
to the skid beam occurs. In this mode, pushing of the rig is
possible. In the "up" position: the jacking cylinder
is retracted and the gripper box assembly will move to the next
slot position.
