PREMIUM PIG HANDLING EQUIPMENT
We produce a range of high-quality, intricate pipeline pig handling equipment.
We offer custom designs to suit applications and the Ocean Kinetics standard pipeline pig handling trolley. The features from our standard trolley can be readily incorporated into a custom product. The standard trolley can be manufactured to any length & diameter. Full CAD and 3D modelling is undertaken in-house. In line with the typical operating environment for this equipment, we aim to avoid power sources and use manual gear driven and manual hydraulic tooling where practicable.
For pipeline pig loading and retrieval, we offer a sectional push rod system which incorporates the Ocean Kinetics’ quick assembly coupling, to enable safe and easy operation. This coupling has a captive mechanism preventing the components becoming accidentally detached. The pushrods are sized for one person to assemble and manipulate them, using the incorporated handles, without any additional lifting equipment. The terminating pushrod can be supplied to fit against all joint types, from blind, to Yolk-Type connections, through to ANSI and compact flanges. The pushrod wheels can be supplied in a range of materials, polyurethane being commonly preferred.
