PETOL® Bukup Tongs

PETOL® BUKUP TONGS are designed for use with a pipe machine for “bucking up” and “bucking off” tool joints. Larger sizes may be used for breaking out drill collars, reamers or similar heavy jobs. The wide range of each size of PETOL Bukup Tong reduces to a minimum the tools needed for handling the many sizes of tool joints. The PETOL Special Chain combinations used with this tong come complete with heavy-duty bolts, which make it possible to change quickly from one O.D. size to another. This tong grips in the upward motion and ratchets in the downward motion.

NOTE: The BA118 Bukup Tong latches with an adjustable chain screw nut rather than the usual chain hook. Further adjustment can be made by adding or removing chain sections.

WARNING!
Do Not Exceed Maximum Working Load!
Overloading may result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH!
Always use a load cell or other calibrated indicating device to monitor the line pull on the tong to avoid overload.
Read Safe Practices & Procedures Manual prior to operation. Do not operate without a manual. Follow OSHA, NSC, etc. standards, safe practices, and procedures.

Do not actuate the tong with an overhead bridge crane unless the crane is guarded from derailing. Sudden release of energy, such as when a connection is broken loose, can cause an overhead bridge crane to spring upwards resulting in the crane derailing. Derailing of an overhead crane may result in the crane falling to the floor resulting in injury or death.
