Power Unit Builder & Handling Tools stocks new and offers a REMAN service on “Y series” slip type elevators. The Y-series elevator is a specialized tool used in the oil and gas industry primarily for lifting and handling drill pipes, casing, tubing, and other tubular components during drilling operations. The term "“Y-SERIES”" typically refers to a specific model or brand of slip elevator, but the functionality is similar across various manufacturers.

Here's how a “Y-SERIES” slip type elevator generally works:

Design: The “Y-series” slip type elevator consists of two main components: slips and elevator links. The slips are essentially curved gripping devices that securely hold the tubular components, while the elevator links connect the slips to the drilling rig's hoisting system.
Operation: When a tubular component needs to be lifted or handled, the “Y-series” slip type elevator is positioned over the pipe or causing it to be lifted. The slips are then engaged around the exterior surface of the tubular with the help of hydraulic or mechanical mechanisms.
Safety: Always ensure all slip inserts are free in the up position when latching the elevator. And, Use the ears for lifting the elevator – NOT the handles.
Gripping: Once engaged, the slips grip the tubular firmly, ensuring it remains securely in place during lifting operations. This gripping action is essential for maintaining control and preventing accidents such as dropping the tubular component.
Lifting: After the slips are securely engaged, the elevator links are attached to the drilling rig's hoisting system, typically through a set of hooks or other connecting mechanisms. The hoisting system then applies the necessary force to lift the tubular component to the desired height or position.
Release: Once the lifting operation is complete, the slips can be disengaged from the tubular component, allowing it to be lowered or removed from the drilling rig as needed.

Overall, the “Y-series” slip type elevator plays a crucial role in the safe and efficient handling of tubular components during drilling operations, helping to ensure smooth workflow and minimize the risk of accidents or damage to equipment. Contact Power Unit Builder & Handling Tools for details.
