Rig Floor Automation is Here

Combining the release of the HexGrip™ 120 automated floor wrench with our exclusive retractable slip lifters and traction control floor mats offers new levels of consistency, safety, and performance for your drilling operation.

  • HexGrip™ 120 Automated Floor Wrench Features

    • 100,000 ft-lb Makeup Torque
    • 120,000 ft-lb Breakout Torque
    • <1% Makeup Torque Variance
    • 360⁰ Six-Point
    • Remote Connected
    • Data Logging
    • Compact Design

    The industry leading FlexRig fleet revolutionized rig move efficiency. Now, the HexGrip 120 wrench provides industry-leading floor wrench capabilities and a minimal footprint without compromising the efficiency gains achieved with our rigs.

  • Retractable slip lifters

    With retractable slip lifter, slips are inset into the rig floor to allow the top drive to drill all the way down. They provide seamless transition between drilling and tripping. Unlike other options- these have been custom engineered by our inhouse team and designed exclusively for the FlexRig fleet.

    • Eliminate manually intensive tasks
    • Reduce human variability and safety risks
    • Drive consistent operational execution
  • Traction control floor mats

    Rig floor traction control mats are color coded to identify higher risk areas and mitigate hazards. They are modular by design, so if any damage does occur, they can be quickly replaced without incurring any downtime.

  • Deeper Wells, Longer Laterals

    • Are you drilling deeper wells with longer laterals—even up to 4 miles at 10,000 TVD?

    • Larger pipe sizes & top drive torque delivery?

    • Have laterals outgrown the capabilities of your current floor wrench?

  • Consistent Execution

    • Want to do more without tonging your way out of the hole every event?

    • How about planning better and doing more by reducing variability?

    • When the average cathead event adds 2 minutes, how much NPT/ILT are you incurring?

  • Safety Performance

    • Want to reduce crew turnover, drive retention and make the job less manually intensive with less exposure to risk?

    • What would less time spent in high-risk HSE areas do for your safety record?
