What are the benefits of this type of truck? Why not using 1-2 cranes and dozens of ordinary trucks? The crawler crane from the video can lift much more i guess
Speed, versatility and cost are your main reasons, but when you go out on a rig move, the job is bid, so it’s all about efficiency! Some rigs you don’t need cranes, you can do it all with with 1 or 2 big beds and 2 gin pole trucks! But on these drilling rigs the trucks are working at the same time as the cranes both on the tear out and setup, the trucks are setting and tearing the buildings and support units while the cranes are dealing with the substructure, Derrick, and drawworks, and then the bed trucks will feed the cranes also, as for using winch trucks over straight trucks that’s another thing all together; you can load up the straight trucks with a lot more weight but you need to have something to unload and load at either end, whereas with winch trucks they do it themselves
@@CyberKolobok you betcha! Now time wise with a good crew you can rig out a tele-double in about 1-3 hours and setup in 3-4 hours if all components are there, the big triples it’s about 6-8 to tear out and around 10-12 to set up again
Since they already answered and said it’s about efficiency, I wanna add: it’s much faster to back up straight to a load and pull it right onto the back of the truck than it is to lift with a crane and have 2-5 people guide it onto a truck with the tug lines. Just suck it right on instead of pick it up and dangle it the right direction :)
The generators, electronic control building, draw works, and mud pumps are all crucial and expensive pieces. If the line or sling breaks it’s usually as it’s just coming over the roll, so it’s common for the gin truck to help to load and unload, you can double line for the same effect but you can’t have the block coming into your winch drum. It’s an added insurance thing

Very nice truck
I have a commitment to be the skinniest oilfield driver in the industry by age 26. Wish me luck, fellas. I already got the skinny part down.

@@bigdog8815 Thanks for detailed response. As far as I understood the primary use for them is moving oil rigs.

Why electronics or bearings need crane assistance
