Efficiency
Canrig’s exclusive folding Torque Guide
enables the safest and fastest rig up
and rig down in the industry. The com-
plete system, which folds into a single,
transportable, oilfield skid, includes the
torque guide, the top drive unit and all
services. In addition:
• The torque guide is installed
vertically after mast erection.
• A single-point disconnect allows
for all electrical and hydraulic
services to stay with the unit
during rig moves.
• All bolting and flanges are
eliminated.
• Minimal rig interface; no torque is
reacted through mast.
Canrig’s portable top drive systems
provide flexibility for multi-rig applica-
tions. They include:
• Adjustable telescoping top section
• Variable length lower sections
• Multi-block interface
• Compact design accommodates
shorter masts

Canrig
Canrig is one of the world’s leading suppliers of top drive
drilling systems for the oil and gas industry. The company
manufactures, markets and services a full range of critically
engineered portable and fixed top drive systems for most land
and offshore rigs. This includes top drives in every size and
configuration to meet any drilling application whether ma-
rine, desert, jungle or arctic environments.
Canrig has had a commitment to quality since the compa-
ny’s inception. The first top drive delivered by the company
continues to perform efficiently in the field. Since serial num-
ber 1 rolled off the line we have employed a policy of continu-
ous improvement that ensures that all Canrig top drives are
as durable as that first unit.
Today Canrig top drives set the standard for safety, reli-
ability and efficiency. Superbly engineered products and un-
paralleled service have moved the company to the forefront
of the top drive drilling industry.
Intelligent Accessories
Canrig’s commitment to drilling efficiency has resulted in
the development of a line of intelligent top drive accessories.
Each blends innovation with excellence in engineering.
Advanced Diagnostic System
The Advanced Diagnostics System (ADS) monitors stra-
tegic points of the top drive unit and its associated control
and power system, making intelligent assessments of mal-
functions and reporting possible causes. Such messages
may include on-line help text for quick access to operating
and troubleshooting instructions; failure of power or control
cables; presence of defective components; and parameters
“out of adjustment”, with anticipated errors or deviations of
expected results.
The ADS communicates with the operator via a color moni-
tor with touch sensitive screen to respond to messages. This
Operator Interface Terminal also allows inputting correction
factors and shut-down of non-essential functions in case of
equipment failure.
Traveling Equipment Anti-Collision System
Traveling equipment can sometimes accidentally come
into contact with other parts of the rig, usually the crown, the
floor or the racking board. When such contact occurs, the
results can be injury to personnel and/or damage to equip-
ment.
That’s why Canrig has developed the Traveling Equipment
Anti-Collision System. This system sounds an alarm when-
ever contact between certain rig components is about to oc-
cur. If the alarm sounds and the problem is not corrected,
the action in question is stopped utilizing an automatic shut
down device.
Two different versions of the system are available, TAC I
for rigs without top drives and TAC II for rigs with top drives.
Equipment Condition Monitoring System
A step change in the approach to enhanced maintenance
of equipment is underway across many industries. Equip-
ment Condition Monitoring (ECM) of drilling rig equipment
in real time is not only possible but proven to be effective.
Using sophisticated sensors, purpose built software and web-
based data collection, Canrig can deliver an ever greater level
of equipment reliability and performance.
Enhanced Well Control
The Canrig Lower Well Control Valve (LWCV) actuator is a
significant upgrade in reliability and functionality from any
similar device. Designed as a replacement for existing actua-
tors, it is field retrofittable to lower well control valves in use
today. The dual rack and pinion open / close mechanism is
not effected when operation is attempted while the pipe is
rotating. The LWCV actuator is capable of functioning valves
in either direction against 2,500 PSI differential pressure.
With over 400 actuators in use we know this technology
significantly improves reliability, enhances well control and
lowers operating costs.
TDSU-Grasshopper
The TDSU-Grasshopper enables fast and orderly rig up of
the cables and hoses that are required to run from the TDSU
to the rig floor. This is accomplished through the use of a hy-
draulically powered telescoping post combined with a series
of articulating cable trays.
The TDSU-Grasshopper is suitable for all land rig appli-
cations. It provides excellent protection of the cables and
hoses during transport, rig up and operation.
