Billy Pugh Co. management group spent two years in collaboration between BPC, HSE&Q managers, crane operators, rig managers and offshore personnel to create a product that will both efficiently and quickly move passengers offshore. With the help of a great team, the X-904 transfer device was developed and quickly became the standard for offshore transfer. It is made of a sturdy aluminum skeleton to protect them from falling objects. The riders are encompassed with tightened stainless steel ropes that protects from any side impact that may occur. All models are equipped with quick release safety lanyards that gives the passengers stability without being confined. Shock absorbing “feet” protect passengers from hard landing. The X-904 provides a designated area for luggage. In the event of an emergency situation, the 4, 6, & 8 person X-904s allows for a stretcher to be loaded.

FAQs
BPC has certified refurbishment companies all over the world. Please check our refurbishment section for a listing of those companies.
Cost will vary depending on the condition of the unit but as a general rule somewhere between 40-50% of the price of a new one.
The X-904 was designed to be rebuilt and refurbished; personnel baskets were not. Do to their initial cost it also makes financial sense to refurbish the X-904. Conversely, personnel nets/baskets initial cost is much lower and its design is not conducive or economical for rebuilding.
The X-904 is manufactured with a variety of components such as wire rope, synthetic rope, floatation, cover materials etc. All of these components are affected by the harsh offshore environment they operate in. This wear would include general wear and tear, UV degradation as well as the salt water conditions offshore. These effected parts are all critical in the performance and operation (and most importantly) the safety of the X-904. The X-904 is a device that carries the most important “cargo” in the offshore community…people. The X-904 is designed to be inspected before each use then have a more thorough inspection every 6 months and be refurbished every two years (with the understanding that it had passed the daily and 6 month inspections). The two year refurbishment helps to insure that these devices are more than ready to do the job that they were designed for…Why two years? Because we have found that on average (based on over 50 years of manufacturing safety equipment for offshore use) two years in the field is the maximum time that we can recommend these type devices operate without these critical parts being replaced. Please note: after the 3rd refurbishment of the X-904 you will be required to purchase a new device or we now offer an 8 year refurbishment option that replaces certain key pieces. Please check out check our refurbishment section for more information.
The X-904 is rated at 300 lbs per person. IE: The X-904 4 person has a WLL of 1200 lbs.
The In Service Date is the date when the X-904 is removed from its packaging. This determines when the 6 month inspection and 2 year refurbishment should take place. The In Service Date will need to be noted in the operations manual included with the purchase of the X-904.
Some companies require work vests only and others use Type 1 only for X-904 transfers-it really depends on the culture of the company and what they feel is most effective for their operation and personnel. Have a PFD that is sturdy and has a convenient place in the front of the jacket to attach the quick release carabineer. The PFD should also be regularly inspected for excessive wear or UV degradation. BPC does not recommend anything too bulky (in that) it can interfere with moving in and out of the X-904 inner riding area. We also recommend whatever PFD is used, that it be emphasized to wear the vest/jacket securely around the passenger.
