The Goliath Guillotine is designed to cold-cut pipes, solids,
and multi-stranded casing strings from 16” to 32” (41 to 81
cm) in diameter. The Goliath is easy to set up, even sub-sea,
and is available with an autoclamp option and topside con-
trols for remote operation.
The Goliath Guillotine operates on hydraulic power, with
two heavy-duty hydraulic motors requiring a power source
with 15 gpm flow at 1500 psi (standard) or 15 gpm @ 2000
psi (autoclamp).
Figure 3-1 illustrates the components of the standard Goli-
ath Guillotine. Figure 3-2 shows the saw with the optional
autoclamp. The autoclamp arm closes under hydraulic
power and holds the pipe in the pipe saddle during cutting.
