What to Know About Canadian Rigs
Rigs that worked in Western Canada are usually built or modified for winter operations, with rig floor enclosures, steam boilers and heated tanks. Ask whether that winterization package is included, since it adds value for northern work and weight for a southern one. Mobile trailer-mounted rigs such as the KSM 550 series suit shallow wells and service work, where fast moves matter more than depth.
Comparing the KSM 550 Units
The three KSM 550 listings share a design, so the differences are age and wear. Rigs 5 and 6 are 2005 builds and Rig 7 is a 2013 build. Rig 5's sheet records about 156,105 hours and 517,818 km, and Rig 7's tractor shows 414,320 km. Ask for engine and transmission hours on each unit, the mast's last inspection date and the condition of the hoisting drum before comparing them.
