Littlefoot Rig Walking System
Scalable-Capacity Drilling Substructure and Backyard Moving System
The Littlefoot Rig Custom Walking System is a scalable-capacity drilling substructure and backyard moving system. The Littlefoot’s innovative design incorporates the use of Hilman rollers coupled with lift cylinders to create a safe, low-pressure hydraulic lift system. These components work together to raise the main walking beams that support the weight of the rig.
We’ve equipped this custom rig walking system with Columbia’s signature jack assemblies to enable steering on tight pads, including transverse, crab, and spin modes. The Littlefoot’s horizontal movement occurs as a result of travel cylinders placed on jack assemblies. The lift and travel cylinders then actuate in sequence to transport the rig at a safely controlled pace.
Easy to Transport & Assemble On-Site
Easy on-site delivery and assembly make the Littlefoot Custom Rig Walking System an ideal fit for multisite operations. We’ve designed the Littlefoot to easily dissemble into small, truckable loads. Each of the Littlefoot’s beams features an integrated tail rolling hitch designed to fit most standard oilfield trucks. When required for leveling purposes, the Littlefoot has the capability to lift the entire rig. With the flexibility provided by the Littlefoot custom rig walking system, you can even operate the system in poorly prepared locations.
On-site assembly of the Littlefoot requires only a small crew using a crane and other basic field equipment. To minimize any confusion and to better facilitate the assembly process, Columbia Industries will provide a detailed set of easy to understand instructions for your crew to use in the field. We also provide setup assistance to answer any questions you may have about the assembly process.
Diverse Steering & Custom Control Options
In the field, expanded mobility improves functionality and productivity. With the Littlefoot, we’ve mounted specialized jack assemblies directly into the walking beams. This enables the Littlefoot to achieve the full utilization of 270 degrees of steering, including both circular and lateral modes.
The Littlefoot Custom Rig Walking System also comes with our securely encoded wireless pendant. Using the pendant provides the rig operator with unparalleled freedom of movement and visibility when moving the rig. For added safety, the pendant also includes an emergency stop mechanism the operator can easily trigger. The E-Stop automatically shuts down both the HPU motors and the valves when activated.
Built to Thrive in Any Environment
From the sub-zero temperatures of Northern Canada to the scorching heat of the Arabian Desert, Columbia Industries’ custom rig walking systems are designed to operate in the world’s harshest environments. We’ve field tested our drilling rig moving system under the most extreme circumstances imaginable to ensure it maintains the durability and functionality needed to meet the requirements of any drilling site.
