From Hilman Rollers

This is an alternative lift & roll system supplied by Hilman Rollers
for Rig 102. The cantilever beams are supported by six
rollers-1,250 tons each. Each roller is supported by six hydraulic
cylinders nested in a sub-frame. The hydraulics ensure that each
roller is under full contact during the skidding mode. When
retracted, the rig does not contact the rollers. No more freeze-ups!
No more beam tear-ups! No more huge pushing cylinders!
