Our BOP shuttle skids provide streamlined handling for blowout preventer stacks.
Installing a blowout preventer (BOP) stack, can be a time-consuming and physically demanding aspect of rig setup, especially on substructures that resist easy access. This is why the BOP shuttle skid we offer at Striker Hydralink LLC is engineered to make this process significantly easier, safer, and more efficient. Instead of moving the BOP manually or struggling with traditional handling methods, the skid provides a guided platform that brings the BOP directly into position along the trolley hoist path.
At the heart of our design is a hydraulically actuated rotator, which lets the BOP rotate smoothly as it travels, helping it clear substructure supports and stay aligned with the wellhead. This capability can speed up rig-up operations while reducing the risk of needing personnel to work near or under the assembly during handling. The shuttle ski also serves as a secure parking position for the BOP during rig walking operations, maintaining necessary clearance without extra repositioning.
Built with durability and practicality in mind, our BOP shuttle skid comes with locking pins for secure placement, loading hitches for easy transport, and quick-release drive pins that allow the BOP to be unpinned from its support frame quickly and safely. Whether you are handling a smaller stack or a larger, complex assembly in Eagle Lake, Texas, our solutions deliver reliable performance that works with the workflow of your rig.
Engineered by a team with extensive field and design experience, our BOP shuttle skid reflects our commitment to safety, quality, and operational efficiency. Contact us today to learn more.
