1. A beam trolley festoon system comprising:
- a first trolley beam, the first trolley beam adapted to allow a cable trolley to slide thereon;
a first articulating arm, the first articulating arm hingedly coupled to the first trolley beam, the first articulating arm hingedly coupled to a first piece of wellsite equipment, the first articulating arm repositionable between a retracted position and an extended position;
a second trolley beam, the second trolley beam adapted to allow the cable trolley to slide thereon;
a second articulating arm, the second articulating arm hingedly coupled to the second trolley beam, the second articulating arm hingedly coupled to a second piece of wellsite equipment, the second articulating arm repositionable between a retracted position and an extended position;
the first trolley beam and second trolley beam selectively coupleable when in the extended position.
