Mud Pump to China

The Hansa Meyer Global Houston team recently moved a 36 ton, 5 cylinder Mud Pump for their client in Texas.  The pump was picked up at the client site using a winch truck, pulled onto the trailer, and taken to the Port of Houston for loading and shipping to China.


The Mud Pump is used to circulate drilling fluid while drilling and is considered the "heart" of the drilling system.


The pictures below show how a winch trailer pulls the unit on to the trailer bed.



Once on the trailer the unit was chained down and transported to the Port of Houston where it was loaded on to a vessel bound for China.
