SUBSEA HANDLING EQUIPMENT

BOP CHAIN
HOISTS
BOP Chain Hoists are often employed on Jack-ups to move and maintain the BOP Stack beneath the
cantilever. Working as a pair, each chain hoist connects to the BOP Lift ring providing tandem lifts of up to
200 Tonnes.
Each Hoist is mounted on runway
beams suspended beneath the
drill floor structure.
Travel along each runway beam
is via rack and pinion mechanisms
on each hoist / Beam. The hoist lifting
chains are dispensed from a chain bucket
by the hoist drive and reeved via idler sprockets
over the lifting block assemblies.
Each hoist can be operated independently, and used for BOP
Stack Maintenance tasks.

Typical Specification

Up to 100 Te per hoist

Hoist speed:

HOISTS

Wire Rope Hoists are sometimes


used on jack-ups for handling the BOP
Stack. These systems are mounted on parallel runway
beams which span the cantilever.
Trolleys traverse each runway beam via rack and
pinion, carrying lifting blocks and reeving arrangements above to suit.
The winches are mounted at fixed points on the end of each runway
beam and reeved around sheaves at the opposite end of each runway
beam. Spool-geared diverter sheave arrangements may be employed
where headroom is limited to ensure rope fleet angles are within limits
and rope life is preserved.
The parallel wire rope hoisting arrangements provide tandem lifts of up
to 100 Tonnes, using the BOP's lifting arrangement / lift ring
