  • Patent number: 6609565
    Abstract: A trolley hoisting system for use in a rig has a derrick mounted to the rig, a winch line extending from an upper end of the derrick, and a traveling block located at one end of the winch line. An injector trolley has at least one cavity for allowing the winch line passage therethrough and is adapted to engage the traveling block so that the winch line may be used to raise and lower the injector trolley along the derrick. A lock arrangement for fixing the injector trolley to the derrick at an upper end thereof allows the traveling block to extend below the injector trolley for performing other desired tasks on the rig.

  • Publication number: 20030098150
    Abstract: An improved mast arrangement for a mobile multi-function rig has a winch line extending from an upper end of the mast and a traveling block supported thereon. A trolley mountable on the mast is adapted for coupling to the traveling block. The trolley works primarily as a guide for a given load, and therefore is of a lightweight design since loads mounted to the trolley are transferred directly to the traveling block and the supporting winch line. The trolley provides the capability to readily switch between various rig operations, including manipulating coiled tubing with an injector, setting surface casing using a top drive, operating the winch and traveling block for joined pipe operations, and interchanging between top drive and joined pipe operations without removing the top drive from the mast or rig.
