Handling Equipment

Latch onto tubulars to raise or lower them in the well

Our complete portfolio—including elevators, spiders, flush-mounted equipment, and low-profile solutions—enables us to fulfill your handling needs. We have the capability to handle a variety of tubulars, sizes from 5 to 36 in., and string loads from 500 to 1,250 tons (453,592 to 1,113,981 kg). Whether running casing, tubing, completion tubing, or risers, we offer solutions that can enhance safety and efficiency.

Handling Equipment Elevators

ELEVATORS

Clamp onto casing, tubing, and risers from above

Attached to the hook or top drive with bails, our elevators help you to handle singles or strings of casing, tubing, risers, and high corrosion-resistant-alloy completion tubing. These elevators—including automated, flush joint, remote operated, and spider/elevator combinations—offer various operating methods, from manual to remote, and they enable running pipe with or without collars.


Automated Sidedoor Elevator

The hydraulically operated automated sidedoor elevator quickly picks up large-OD casing and enables safe makeup of connections at a low height. Used with the required bails, the elevator picks up casing from 9-5/8 to 36 in. and handles loads of various sizes.

Flush-Joint Elevator

Our flush-joint elevator increases efficiency by running flush-joint pipe without the need to use threaded lift nubbins. The elevator accommodates pipe sizes between 4-1/2 and 14 in. and has a weight load limit of 5 tons (4,536 kg).

Remote-Operated Single-Joint Elevator

Unlike conventional elevators, our remote-operated single-joint elevator lifts single joints of tubing and casing without manual handling. The elevator accommodates pipe sizes between 3-1/2 and 20 in. and has a weight load limit of 6 tons (5,443 kg).

Drilling Riser Elevator

Rated for 500-ton (453,592-kg) loads, the drilling riser elevator 500 runs flanged-connection drilling riser strings, including those with stress joints, riser joints with buoyancy cans, and riser joints with or without strakes and fairings.

Low-Profile Spider and Elevator

During connection operations in deep water, the low-profile spider and elevator runs riser strings weighing up to 400 tons (362,874 kg) and strings with ODs up to 16 in. (406.4 mm), as well as tapered and specially coated riser strings.

Vario™ Spider and Elevator

Our Vario compact spider and elevator runs and protect high-corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) completion tubing with multiple control lines. Both tools are available in 200- and 350-ton (181,436- and 317,514-kg) ratings and can be flush-mounted.

RMS 2000 Rotary-Mounted Slips and Elevator

A medium- to large-diameter casing-running solution, our RMS 2000 is hydraulically operated, rated for loads up to 500 tons (453,592 kg), and capable of 50,000 ft-lb (67,790 N∙m) of reaction torque. It fits inside certain 37 1/2-in. rotary profiles.

Handling Equipment Spiders

SPIDERS

Suspend the pipe in the hole while assembling the string

Our spiders suspend pipe—including casing, flush-joint casing, completion strings, tapered strings, and risers—from the rotary table during drilling and casing running operations. Depending on your needs, we can prescribe a spider with hydraulic, pneumatic, or remote operation.


Flush-Mounted Spider

The flush-mounted spider enables lowering the casing connection to a safe, efficient 3-ft (1-m) working height. It applies to operations with casing ODs between 4-1/2 to 14 in. where the appropriate rotary is available.

Low-Profile Spider and Elevator

During connection operations in deep water, the low-profile spider and elevator runs riser strings weighing up to 400 tons (362,874 kg) and strings with ODs up to 16 in. (406.4 mm), as well as tapered and specially coated riser strings.

RMS 2000 Rotary-Mounted Slips and Elevator

A medium- to large-diameter casing-running solution, our RMS 2000 is hydraulically operated, rated for loads up to 500 tons (453,592 kg), and capable of 50,000 ft-lb (67,790 N∙m) of reaction torque. It fits inside certain 37 1/2-in. rotary profiles.

RMS 2400 Rotary-Mounted Slips

A large-diameter casing running solution, our RMS 2400 is hydraulically operated, rated for loads up to 1,250 tons (1,133,981 kg), and capable of 100,000 ft-lb (135,582 N∙m) of reaction torque.

RMS 3000 Rotary-Mounted Slips and Elevator

A large-diameter casing-running solution, our RMS 3000 is hydraulically operated, rated for loads up to 600 tons (544,311 kg), and capable of 50,000 ft-lb (67,790 N∙m) of reaction torque. The tool fits inside certain 49 1/2-in. rotary profiles.

Vario™ Spider and Elevator

Our Vario compact spider and elevator runs and protect high-corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) completion tubing with multiple control lines. Both tools are available in 200- and 350-ton (181,436- and 317,514-kg) ratings and can be flush-mounted.

RCS 500 Completion Slips

Rated to 500 tons, the RCS-500 completion slips functions as a spider to handle tubulars in completion-running operations. The slips also accommodate large-OD string components, including multiple control-line configurations, large umbilicals, and associated protection hardware.
