Canrig manufactures a premier line of automated drilling equipment and rig components and is vertically integrated with Nabors. Canrig's product line includes 10 electric top drives, five hydraulic top drives, three casing running tools and seven automated catwalks as well as rig floors and tubular handling equipment.
