Pig Handling Systems
Pig handling becomes essential when:
Pig weight is high
Pigging frequency is high
Location is offshore, elevated platforms, or confined spaces
Operators must reduce manual lifting
Pig Loading & Unloading Systems
Manual rail/tray systems
Pig transfer carts (wheeled)
Hydraulic-assisted pig loaders
Pig push/pull systems
Pig insertion funnels and guiding systems
Typical scope
Loading platform, rails, and clamps
Hoist or jib crane interface points
Safe pig storage and staging
Pig Signaling Systems
Mechanical pig signallers (flag indicator)
Magnetic pig detectors
Electronic pig signallers (proximity/inductive)
Dual confirmation (for critical operations)
Pig Tracking Systems
Portable acoustic receivers
Fixed tracking points along pipeline
Transmitter-equipped pigs (for long lines or critical routing)
Data logging and SCADA integration options
Pig Storage & Transfer Systems
Pig racks and protected storage stands
Tool storage cages (ILI tool handling)
Transfer skids and carts
Dedicated cleaning/maintenance area layout
