Forum’s CraneSafe product line produces safe, reliable and economical solutions to stand building for all rig types while enhancing productivity and safety.

Multi Purpose Crane

The CraneSafe™ Multi Purpose Crane (MPC) is a highly versatile and valuable addition to any rig. Hydraulically actuated, the MPC’s multi-axis control provides access to hard-to-reach places — eliminating the need for a manual interface.

The MPC’s compact design enables it to handle a wide variety of applications, including:

Under Rig Floor

  • Master Skid Crane
  • BOP Maintenance
  • Wire line activities

Above Rig Floor

  • V-door hoist

When fitted with the optional personnel basket, routine maintenance can be performed without the use of a riding belt — providing increased safety and superior flexibility.

An independent winch located at the end of the arm provides additional capabilities.
