These drilling towers are used with core drilling rig and water well drilling rig for lifting drill tools. They are also used to locate and hang the hoisting system of the drill rigs. In the drilling construction process, the drill tower can lower drill pipe or casing.

The mast is normally used on land drilling rig types requiring a good deal of mobility; they are rarely used on offshore rigs. The racking board is in a cantilever position and lengths of drill pipeare racked on a floor, called the setback, that is separate from the mast structure. Most masts have one side open (window side),. .
There are different types of masts for land drilling and service rigs: 1. Folding Type 2. Telescopic Masts 3. Bootstrap Type 4. Portable/Cantilivered masts (Non-Guy line) .
Figure 8 shows a telescopic mast. Telescopic masts with their drawworks and engines are usually mounted on trucks or trailers. The load should be borne by hydraulic or. .
Each structure shall be rated for the following applicable loading conditions. The following ratings do not include any allowance for impact. Acceleration, impact, setback, and wind loads will reduce the rated static hook load capacity. Technical specifications are identical to those for derricks: 1. Maximum hook load given the reeving system, 2. F. .
For conventional Mast (Land rig), the below pictures show the erection sequence of rigging up For rigging up the vertical mast, the below pictures show the bootstrap sequence of rigging up.
[pdf] A drilling rig is an integrated system that , such as oil or water wells, or holes for and other construction purposes, into the earth's subsurface. Drilling rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill , , or natural gas extraction wells, or they can be small enough to be moved manually by one person and such are called . Drilling rigs can s.
