On-land drilling is much less invasive and much more controllable. With the BP oil spill a mile below water, stopping the leak will take months—possible till August. Such a leak couldn’t occur above ground. Above ground rigs work like straws, gently pull oil up out of the ground while only disturbing a small portion of the area, and not in a dramatic way. Being able to offset the need for deep water drilling by using more swabbing rigs and above ground oil rigs would ultimately mean fewer disasters of the same proportions as the current spill.

Tiger General is proud to support clean above ground drilling efforts. Encourage safe oil and look into investing in your OWN swabbing rig!

There’s a way to drill that doesn’t endanger any sea-faring creatures or risk spilling oil in the ocean on a trip from an ocean rig to the land. Swabbing Rigs ease environmentally concerned minds by offering a way to access oil without taking a trip to the seas, and without transporting oil across the water every time it’s extracted.

Tiger General encourages you to support the exploration of energy sources and the safer methods of extracting oil with mobile, land rigs.

Moises De Leon states they invested in three more Swab Master Machines because the are far more efficient than chain drive rigs. Maintenance is about half of chain drive rigs. Moises also stated fuel consumption with the International engines are only about two gallons per hour. That’s far less then the Detroit engines. The old Detroit engines use as much as 4-6 gallons per hour. Swab Master machines deliver substantial savings.

Hydraulic Swabbing Rig

IF YOU NEED A SWABBING RIG, WHY MESS AROUND WITH CHAIN DRIVE RIGS WHEN YOU CAN OWN THE FINEST #1 OF ALL HYDRAULIC SWABBING RIGS IN THE USA? HERE’S JUST A FEW BENEFITS TO CONSIDER.

TIGER GENERAL HYDROSTATIC WINCHES DELIVER IN EXCESS OF 95% OF MECHANICAL TORQUE EFFICIENCY. A MECHANICAL CHAIN WINCH DRIVE SYSTEM MIGHT PROVIDE HIGHER REDUCTION RATIOS BUT THEY CAN LOOSE UP TO 30-40% OF TORQUE THROUGH REDUCTION DRIVE TRAIN INEFFICIENCIES.

BOTTOM LINE, TIGER WINCH SYSTEMS PROVIDE A SMOOTHER, FAR MORE EFFICIENT SYSTEM TO DELIVER MAXIMUM LINE PULL. YOU GET AT LEAST 15-YEAR DESIGN LIFE BEFORE AN OVERHAUL IS REQUIRED. THEN IT’S EASY AND REASONABLE TO REBUILD AND GO AGAIN. ALL OTHER RIGS RUN ABOUT 5-8 YEARS OR LESS, AND THEN NEED TO BE OVERHAULED. OUR PUMPS AND MOTORS ARE RATED FOR AT LEAST 20,000 HOURS BEFORE AN OVERHAUL IS REQUIRED.

SWAB MASTER REQUIRES VERY LITTLE MAINTENANCE, IN FACT THEY REQUIRE ABOUT HALF THE MAINTENANCE AS ANY OTHER RIG. YOUR SWAB MASTER MACHINE IS WELL ENGINEERED AND FIELD PROVEN TO WORK HARD AND LIVE A LONG PRODUCTIVE LIFE. THE BASIC DESIGN HAS BEEN THE SAME SINCE 1978, BUT GREATLY REFINED FOR LONGER LIFE AND FAR LESS MAINTENANCE. YOUR SWAB MASTER PLUMBING SYSTEM USES ALL PREMIUM COMPONENTS THAT ARE SIZED CORRECT, WELL MOUNTED, AND ROUTED CLEANLY.

WE USE PREMIUM ABSOLUTE FILTERS, THAT FILTER THE FIRST OR SECOND PASS THROUGH. OTHERS USE FILTERS THAT REQUIRE 7-10 TRIPS TO FILTER. WE COOL AND FILTER ABOUT 7 GALLONS PER MINUTE. WE EVEN COOL AND FILTER WHILE IDLING.

WE USE EXPENSIVE CODE 62 HI PRESSURE 4 BOLT “O” RING, AND JIC “O” RING FITTINGS TO MAKE SURE YOU DON’T HAVE LEAKS FOR THE LONG HAUL. NOT CHEAP PIPE FITTINGS. WE USE EXPENSIVE HYDRAULIC STEEL TUBING, THAT IS POWER COATED TO LIVE LONGER THAN HOSES. WHEN WE USE HOSES WE TAKE GREAT CARE NOT TO STRESS THE HOSE ENDS AND INSTALL WITH PREMIUM HANGERS TO PREVENT CHAFFING. 

YOUR SWAB MASTER COMES STANDARD WITH:

• AN EXPENSIVE TIGER GENERAL AUTO SPOOLING DEVICE GREATLY ENHANCED WITH LARGER ALUM BRONZE BUSHING
• DRIP OIL SYSTEM,
• ALUMINUM SHEAVE COVERS TO PREVENT SPLASH
• A DRAIN HOSE
• ROTATABLE SIDE TRUST
• PLASTIC SKID BLOCKS
• HUGE ADJUSTABLE BEARING ENDS FOR PERFECT ALIGNMENT
• A HEAVY DUTY MAST WITH 7”X7”X 1/4″ SQUARE TUBING, STANDARD. (3/8” WALL ON 16,000 FT MODELS) IT IS BOLTED, TO EXTRA LARGE SWING FRAME HINGE.
• THE ENCLOSED LOW SPLASH CROWN SHEAVE IS STANDARD
• YOU GET HUGE 3 ½ X 5” OD CROWN SHEAVE NEEDLE BEARINGS RUNNING ON A SHAFT SLEEVE

GET ALL THE POWER AND SPEED YOU NEED. MORE POWER THAN ANY OTHER RIG, AND FAR MORE USABLE POWER THAN ANY OTHER RIG. JUST TELL US HOW DEEP YOU NEED TO OPERATE, WE’LL DELIVER THE SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE YOU DESERVE.

GET MORE WELLS PER DAY WITH YOUR SWAB MASTER PREMIUM SWABBING RIG. SET UP IS FASTER!

GET IN MOST OF THE TIME WITHOUT A BULLDOZER. ***SEE TIGER VISION.

IF YOU WANT, YOUR SWAB MASTER CAN BE OPERATED EASILY WITH ONLY ONE MAN. IT’S THAT EASY. MOST OF THE CONTRACTORS IN OHIO AND PA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ONE MAN OPERATION.

** HOWEVER I UNDERSTAND YOU MIGHT WANT A 2 MAN OPERATION. USE THE SECOND

MAN TO KEEP YOUR SWAB MASTER MACHINE “WIPED DOWN” AND KEEP CHECKING THINGS, OR MOW THE GRASS. A SECOND MAN WILL BE NEEDED ON WELLS WITH HIGH WELL “TREES

Why mess around with old fashioned used rigs?
