18o Type Elevators G Series G series elevators are similar in design and construction to the A series, except they are bored to fit the contour of 18o type drill pipe.
They are constructed in two halves of practically the same weight for better balance, making them easier to handle; easier to latch on and take off the pipe. In open position, a G-series elevator hangs ready for closing at any point below the upset of the pipe. Safety features include guarded operating handles to help prevent accidents to operators and an extra handle at the rear of the elevator for easier, safer operation.
Collar Type Elevators A Series Center-latch elevators are for handling collar type drill pipe, casing and tubing. All Ў°AЎ± type elevators are constructed in two halves of practically the same weight, providing proper balance and easier opening and closing. In open position, the elevator hangs ready for closing at any point below the upset of the pipe.
All Ў°AЎ± type elevators feature latch and safety latch lock combinations. Safety features include guarded operating handles to help prevent accidents to operators and an extra handle at the rear of the elevator
Side Door Type Elevators
X Series The X-series elevators handle all sizes of collar-type tubing, drill pipe and casing.
The SLX has a shielded safety latch mounted on the elevator door. The shield protects the latch from accidental opening.
Both latches operate from a single handle, and then automatically relatch when the elevator door is closed. The Type SX side- door elevator, designed for handling large, collar-type casing, is a sturdier, safety- latch-equipped version of X-series elevators.
