FillSafe Tank Filler Kits

This is the last thing your man sees when filling a tank!

Clearly marked Diesel and Hydraulic, this is another step toward keeping Diesel out of the Hydraulic tank!

Some customers have spent $25,000-50,000 to replace pumps and motors because of diesel in the hydraulic tank!

 

P/N 13364 ………for hydraulic oil reservoir

P/N 13394 ………for diesel tank, pre-Tier IV engines (vented cap)

P/N 13393 ………for diesel tank, Tier IV engines (non-vented cap)

ScopeDown Torque Track

Fits telescoping masts, rig floors to any height.

Telescoping track scopes up and down with mast and lays down with mast for travel.  No sections to rig up or down or transport.

Swivel may be positioned to tilt toward any V-door location.

Track assembly is used on both XK-100 and XK-150 swivels by changing only swivel attachment.

Zero torque into mast.  Rated for 12,000 ft-lbs. Torque reacts into Y-base and carrier structure.

Engineered to API-8C & API-Q1, safety factor 3:1 min.

Multiple patents.

Optional swivel parking rack for tripping.

SafeLatch Torque Arms

Safe and quick to latch and unlatch from wire ropes.

Pull handles to unlock, unlatch, and open.

Swing onto wire rope and close.

No tools, loose parts, or falling objects.

Safe - Torque arms remain on swivel for travel. Only require removal to select different scoping length.

Patented.

Bidirectional High Flow Filters

Finally, a way to protect pumps and motors from contaminants as small as .002” (about the size of your white blood cells).

Contamination generally enters the long hoses thru QD’s, or sometimes a QD or a hose lining comes apart.

We don't see pumps and motors worn out; we see them killed by oil contamination. The industry standard high-pressure filters have restrictive bypass valves.  Plus, these valves allow contaminants to bypass when cold or as soon as filter elements are only slightly plugged but are still filtering most of the flow.

Your people unknowingly contaminate your hydraulics, and our goal is to improve your reliability.

Unique Filtration Concept – There is no bypass valving or restrictive passages in our filters.  They are rated for high flow with minimal pressure drop. Contaminants are prevented from passing thru the reversible pump and motor in either direction of flow. Whatever contaminants are stopped by the filters are simply washed back out of the filter when flow is reversed.  So, contaminants in the hoses just go back and forth between pump and motor without damaging.  Patented.

If the filter becomes heavily plugged, the swivel will not lose torque but will slow down without damaging pump or motor. A gauge will show high pressure drop indicating a filter cleaning is needed.  And very uniquely, these filters are cleanable in a parts washer by hand!

Clean out the hoses when required. In our Odessa service shop, we use a pigging system which blows white foam pigs thru the hoses, repeated until pigs come out white.

Pump Filters – Replace your conventional filters using the same bolt-on mounting.

Motor Filters - A pair of filters now hangs in line between swivel joints and QD’s.  Until now there has been no practical way to protect the motor with filters at the swivel. These can be added to any swivel.

 

RPM Readout Kit

FEATURES –

Simple rpm sensor on swivel.

Inexpensive hanging electric cable and connecting cable from panel to HPU - Cheap replacement.

Digital weatherproof RPM meter is intrinsically safe in compliance with hazardous requirements.

 

OPTION 1 – RPM METER BUILT INTO CONTROL PANEL 

Includes rig floor control panel with digital RPM meter connected by inexpensive cable to electronics box on HPU.

Cable connector at the panel allows easy disconnection along with umbilical QD’s.

New power swivels will include RPM-ready panel to allow RPM meter installation when new or later.

Meter is backlit for easy readability at night.

 

OPTION 2LOOSE RPM METER, for mounting outside control panel 

Same digital intrinsically safe RPM meter in weatherproof box for customer mounting.

Includes inexpensive cable to connect HPU sensor manifold to RPM meter.

Meter is backlit for easy readability at night.

 

OPTION 3NO RPM METER, wiring only

For customers with existing intrinsically safe 4-20mA system such as Pason.

Same HPU electronics but without control panel or RPM meter.

Includes inexpensive cable between HPU and rig floor.

Super Handler

It's fun to create Disruptive Technology!

The Super Handler™ is a radical pipe handler which includes either of our power swivels !

This is a major departure from the way things have been done before!

Combining our power swivels with a unique pipe handler brings many benefits. See list below!

Cuts costs, saves time, increases safety!  Numerous patents issued.

Our customers say this will be a game-changer!

Sorry it's not on the market yet, but covid and the oil crash stopped our development.

Our patent coverage is already quite extensive and our engineering is more than half done.

But while markets were slow, we decided to develop smaller less expensive products that could go to market sooner.

Thoese are the products here under NEW PRODUCTS.

 

Swivel and pipe handler combined on a 47 ft Gooseneck trailer.

Cuts Total Costs

  • Less initial cost than the two separate units of a pipe handler and a power swivel.
  • Less operating cost than two separate units –               fuel, insurance, etc.
  • Less personnel cost than two separate units -                only one driver/operator.
  • Less maintenance cost than two separate units - only one trailer, one engine, one hydraulic system, etc.
  • Less environmental impact – One truck, one trailer,      one engine, one hydraulic system.
  • Flexible usage – Rental companies can offer swivel and/or pipe handler services with one unit.
  • Time Saving – Requires no dangerous pinning.               Selector pins slip easily into place at ground level.
  • Space Saving – Only one footprint on rig site.
  • Fast Cycle Time - As fast as pipe is needed.
  • 25’ horizontal reach without extension -              Extendable trough is built into the unit.
  • Range 3 pipe capacity without extension.
  • Handles 3000 lb joints of pipe without adjustment.
  • Engine is same as our XK-100 or XK-150 Power Swivel.
  • XK-100 model tows with 3500 or 4500 truck,                  uses standard electric brake axles.
  • XK-150 model tows with tractor and 5th wheel hitch,  uses standard air brake axles.

Increases Safety

  • Safe - For spin-up, driller presets swivel tilt                                         to repeat same pipe angle every time.
  • Safe - Torque Skate not only pushes and pulls pipe,                       it also holds light torque against swivel spin up                   so nobody tries to use a pipe wrench for backup.
  • Safe - If spinup with swivel is not allowed by company                       policy, Torque Skate will spin up pipe onto the                     non-rotating swivel pin.
  • Safe - Super Handler moves power swivel, hoses, and                   control panel to and from rig floors up to 40' high.               No winching.
  • Safe - 25’ horizontal reach with no extensions required.
  • Safe - Handler also moves misc equipment and tools                  to and from rig floor safely – up to 3000 lbs.
  • Safe - When swivel is not in use, it may be hydraulically                 stored in parking position behind bumper.
  • Safe - Only one driver, truck, and trailer instead of two.
  • Safe - Rig floor heights to 40’ are selected at ground                       level and require no dangerous pinning.
  • Fail Safe – Backups or locks on all movements.
  • Safe Design Specs – API 8C, 4F, 2C, AISC, ASME, SAE, DOT
Every aspect of the Super Handler™ is designed with safey and cost reduction in mind.
