From the conception of Loadcraft the founding fathers came from a desire to serve the oilfield needs.
Loadcraft Pole Trailers (1900 s) In 1916, Fred Spencer developed Loadcraft s first Pole Trailer for oilfield use in the early Kansas oilfield. This was the beginning of a long and brilliant series of advancements in equipment to be designed and manufactured to meet the oilfield needs. From the early Pole Trailers, Loadcraft found away to serve the oilfield and continued with designing and building over 50 models of trailers for transporting the oilfield.
Never Been Done ( 1960-1970 s) In the early 1960-1970 Loadcraft designed and produced a concept of transport that moved a 600 ton nuclear reactor, never before done. This was the spark to begin the MOD/IGN units up to 200 tons, manufactured in Brady, Texas to transport single lift loads never before moved all over the world in energy and oilfield sectors, all over the USA and overseas markets.
New Concepts: Moveable Structures ( 1970 1980 s) In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Loadcraft was again leading the oilfield with new concepts for making oilfield structures moveable, such as: Desert Rigs Substructures on wheels Mast transports on wheels Special dollies to follow the prime movers in transportation of single mast, large diameter pipe & casing Special prime movers were designed and manufactured to supply the oilfield with special carrier designs to allow the oilfield to have a unique truck fitted to the equipment.
International Markets (1980-2000 s) Loadcraft began building a fleet of Rigs from 150 1000hp.
2004 & Forward We continue with our products developed, designed & produced under the name of Loadcraft. We offer in addition to all the standard rigs our drilling packages up to 2000hp. We manufacture rigs to suit: Well Servicing & Workover from 150HP to 750HP these are Mobile and suited for the oilfield We manufacture mobile drilling rigs from 750HP to 1100HP and 1500 HP to 2000 HP Pad Drilling Rigs
Loadcraft Skidding System Loadcraft has recently developed a rig skidding system to assist in skidding the rig over multiple well locations without rigging the rig down. There is no down time going from well to well for the operator with this concept.

Loadcraft / Principle Environmental Rig Site Noise / Sound Abatement Through Loadcrafts continued efforts to serve the oilfield needs we are jointly pursuing the customers needs at the rig site to reduce noise levels. Design & System Engineering Principle utilizes industry leading prediction and modeling software which can calculate the sound absorption coefficient on all surfaces and evaluate the effects of barriers, including effects of ground impedance and thermal gradients. Utilizing the latest CAD technology we produce drawings ranging from preliminary proposal drawings, detailed submittal drawings for customer approval to assembly & manufacturing details and bills of material. Our range of engineering disciplines include acoustics, mechanical, structural, electrical and civil. Product Manufacturing Manufacturing details and bills of material created by our design team are turned into a wide range of standard and custom products and components by our manufacturing group. Our complete metal fabricating operation is geared towards the production of our industry leading PE-Series portable and locationassembled systems. Project Management & Installation With our in-house project management team, Principle can offer professional site erection & installation of any type of product or system we manufacture. Our ability to perform this type of field work in a timely, professional and equally cost-effective manner is unequalled in the Oil & Gas industry.
