Abstract
A skate drive system for a catwalk having a skate and a clamping assembly. The system includes a primary actuator and a secondary actuator. The primary actuator is configured to apply a drive force to first and second cables to move the skate along a trough of the catwalk. The secondary actuator is configured to apply a tension force to at least one of the first and second cables independent of the primary actuator to actuate the clamping assembly from an unclamped position to a clamped position.
