Ship Your Jack-up Rig Equipment With the Right Company!

While the buoyant hull allows transportation across the job site, you'll need an expert to move it from one place to the next safely. Heavy Haulers can properly store your rig, secure it, and get it to the new destination in a timely manner. We contract wth tugs and heavy lift ships to transport it across the ocean.

The rig is moved to the desired location using a tug, with the rig's hull floating on the water. Once it's at the location, the legs are jacked down to the seafloor. Then, the barge and additional ballast are pre-loaded to drive the legs securely into the sea floor. In order to ensure the safety of the crew on board, each piece needs to be in smooth working order. Trusting an inexperienced oilfield transportation crew may mean that your rig is damaged during shipment, causing costly delays or safety risks.

Jack Up Rig & Equipment Shipping Services

Jack-up drilling rigs offer a more efficient way to excavate in the oil and gas industry. They get their name from the movable legs that can be "jacked up" to allow different heights above the seabed. These rigs are specialized equipment – and when you need them transported from one site to the next, it's critical that they arrive intact with all parts working. These self-elevating units include a mobile platform with buoyant legs, allowing it to rise over the surface of the sea.
