Description

Lifting Bail Manufacturers in India

PAN Industries offers a wide range of Cast Steel lifting bails from quality steel castings in conformity with ASTM A27 Grade 60-30. They are heat treated to give 60,000 psi Tensile Strength and 30,000 psi Yield Strength and are furnished with heavy duty bails suitable for picking up and laying down drill collars, drill pipes.

Use of Lifting Bails / Lifting Caps

Lifting bails can be used to lift drilling tools used for natural gas and petroleum. They are also used by persons in the areas of geographical exploration, and drilling engineering. These bails are used to lift:

• Tool joints
• Drill pipes
• Drill bits
• Drill collars
• Stabilizers
• Subs

So we can say lifting caps are used to protect threads as the items are being moved- from picking them up to load a truck, to transporting them to a new site and laying them down- and while they are in storage. They also aid in linking cables to the drilling tools.

 

 

Benefits of Using Lifting Bails

Lifting caps / Lifting Bails protect threads while drilling tools are being handled, which reduces the need (and cost) to replace these tools due to thread damage. They also make it easier to remove drilling tools from trucks or storage, lift them off the ground, and safely sit them down. Additionally, non-threaded or blank bails may be used to handle special tools or items without threading.

Technical Details of Lifting Bails / Lifting Caps

Lifting Bails are Cast Steel Thread Protectors with Lifting Bails ranging from 2-3/8” to 8-5/8” with REG, IF, FH, XH, H-90 and NC connections. Threads and Shoulders are precision machined as per API Standard.
