Safety Pins
Three safety pins (Figure 3-5) on each side of the carrier are actuated by hydraulic cylinders. The safety
pins prevent tubulars from rolling across the carrier when loading, or rolling out of the carrier when the
carrier is being raised or lowered.
When the carrier is elevated, the safety pins extend automatically. When the carrier is in the fully retracted
position, DS or ODS safety pins can be manually operated using safety pin toggle switches on the control
console or wireless terminal.
• All three safety pins on one side operate simultaneously.
• The safety pins can only be lowered when the carrier is fully retracted.
• Safety pins automatically retract only when the carrier is fully retracted into the Catwalk and none of
the control console or wireless terminal switches are in the UP position.
