Presented herein are systems, methods, and apparatus related to relocatable tower technologies that facilitate on-site deployment and provide improved stiffness in order to minimize motion at a tower top in a manner that existing approaches, which focus on survivability, do not contemplate. In particular, relocatable tower technologies described herein can be deployed rapidly and at low cost, at outdoor sites, to, e.g., provide a vertical mast upon which equipment can be mounted. In certain embodiments, features of relocatable towers described herein allow the vertical mast to survive and remain rigid while being exposed to outdoor elements, such as wind gusts (e.g., up to 110 Mph). Advantages of relocatable tower technologies described herein are particularly well suited where (e.g., scanning based) imaging and/or detection equipment is mounted at a top of the tower, and/or where towers are deployed at sensitive sites such as hydrocarbon production, storage and processing facilities.

A tiltable telescoping support structure positioning system includes a frame having first and second opposed vertical sections. A telescoping support structure is disposed between the first and second opposed vertical sections, the telescoping support structure having a plurality of telescoping sections extendable from a base section along a longitudinal axis thereof. The base section of the telescoping support structure is tiltably coupled to the first and second opposed vertical sections to permit the base section to tilt along a first tilt path towards either of the first and second opposed vertical sections of the frame. A tilting mechanism is coupled between the base section of the telescoping support structure so as to tilt the telescoping support structure about a second tilt path aligned perpendicular to the tilt path between the first and second opposed vertical sections of the frame.

A folding light tower is provided that utilizes a 4-bar linkage mechanism which enables full vertical extension of the tower with the use of one actuator. The exemplary tower generally includes a base, a lower lift arm, and an upper lift arm. Spring elements are used near the rotating joints of the lower lift arm and upper lift arm of the tower. The spring elements act to preload the joints and help to remove play and movement when the tower is unfolded/during the vertical extension process.

A transportable unit has a skid with a pivot connector to pivotally attach to a first mast leg of a drill rig mast. The skid also has a support connector to attach to a second mast leg support of the drill rig mast and a substructure connector to attach to a substructure of a drill rig.

A mobile pole for temporary support of one or more electrical lines includes a boom assembly mounted on a wheeled trailer. The boom assembly includes a plurality of segments pivotably attached to one another. Actuators acting between the segments effect pivoting motion to deploy and stow the segments. A utility pole having one or more cross members is mounted on a free end of one of the segments. The utility pole is rotatable about its longitudinal axis to orient the cross members relative to the electrical lines.

In coiled tubing operations, a mast system is provided which allows for performing coiled tubing operations for multiple wells without repositioning the mast or reel of coiled tubing. The system has a telescoping mast, which is rotationally mounted on a transportable base. The mast is also pivotally attached to the base such that it can be tilted with respected to the base. Further, the mast includes a crown having a receptor configured to receive a coiled tubing injector, wherein the receptor can be rotated and tilted with respect to the mast.

A mast (10) which includes an elongate post (12) with a first end (14) and a second end (16), the first end (14) being pivotally secured to a ground-engaging support base, at least a first mechanism (22) to restrict pivotal movement of the post (12), a winch (26) which is attached to the post (12), and a cable (28) which is engaged with the winch (26) and which is secured at one end to an anchor (30), wherein the winch (26) is actuable to allow the post (12) to pivot, from an elevated position, in a first direction (54) which lowers the post (12) against the action of the movement restricting first mechanism (22), and which is actuable to pivot the post (12) in a second direction (56) which opposes the first direction (54) to elevate the post (12).

A collapsible equipment tower is operable between an extended configuration and a contracted configuration. The equipment tower has a base, having a base frame and supporting a solar panel, and a pivot support, having a distal end for supporting equipment and a proximal end. The pivot support is pivotally connected to the base frame at a pivot joint at the proximal end and is pivotable between a substantially upright position in the extended configuration and a transverse position in the contracted configuration. A retractable locking member is provided at the proximal end of the pivot support adjacent to the pivot joint. The locking member is adapted to be extended from the proximal end and secured to the base frame in the extended configuration and to be retracted in the contracted configuration.

An extendable and retractable column which is formed from at least three linked sections or chains. The linked sections include a plurality of individual segments linked end to end. As the linked segments are extended, each of the individual segments of the linked chains engage individual segments of adjacent linked sections to form a column. As the linked sections are retracted, each of the individual segments of the linked sections disengage from the individual segment of the adjacent linked sections and the individual linked sections may be rolled up into a multi-sided form for compact storage.

The present disclosure, in one or more embodiments, relates to a well servicing rig having a mast having a racking board, a base supporting the mast, and a stabilization system configured to secure the rig against wind loading. The stabilization system may include a pair of front outriggers, a pair of rear outriggers, a pair of racking board supports coupled to the rear outriggers, and a pair of internal guylines extending between the racking board and the racking board supports.
