The Type C Tong is ideal for more compact rigs where space is at a premium, but performance is still a major requirement.  These tongs offer maximum strength without added weight and come in two different lever lengths, standard lever of 40-1/2” and short lever of 30-7/8” length.  These tongs are quality, heat – treated steel construction and are capacity rated to API specifications.  (Size range and capacity: 2-3/8” – 10-3/4”, 35,000 Ft. Lb. torque)

The Type B Tong was designed to meet the need of a sturdier tong for deeper holes, bigger pipe and heavier rig equipment.   It is especially recommended where ever high torque may be expected.  It can adapt readily to normal casing service with the addition of extended – head components.  These are not recommended for drill – collar breakout or rotary service.  These tongs are quality, heat – treated steel construction and are capacity rated to API specifications.  (Size range and capacity: 3-1/2” – 9”, 55,000 Ft. Lb. torque, 9” – 11-3/4”, 40,000 Ft. Lb. torque, 13-3/8” 30,000 Ft. Lb., 13-3/8” – 25-1/2”, 25,000 Ft. Lb. torque)

The HT-65 Tong handles all drill pipe, casing and casing couplings through 17” OD by easily changing four different lug jaws.  The HT-65 is ruggedly constructed, with 1-7/8” diameter hinge pins, but retains the adjustable balanced suspension and easy latching features.  These tongs are quality, heat – treated steel construction and are capacity rated to API specifications.  (Size range and capacity: 3-1/2 – 11-1/4”, 65,000 Ft. Lb. torque, 11-3/4” – 17”, 40,000 Ft. Lb. torque)

The HT-100 Tong handles all drill pipe, casing and casing couplings from 4” to 17” OD by easily changing the lug jaws.  The HT-100 is ruggedly constructed, with 2” diameter hinge pins that permit greater torque for the most severe operating conditions.  These tongs are quality, heat – treated steel construction and are capacity rated to API specifications.  (Size range and capacity: 4” – 15-3/4”, 100,000 Ft. Lb. torque, 12” – 15”, 75,000 Ft. Lb. torque, 16” – 17”, 60,000 Ft. Lb. torque)
