PETOL® Visetongs

PETOL® VISETONGS are designed to operate best when large makeup torques are required and when heavy loads are needed to breakout tool joints, drill collars, reamers, and similar heavy jobs. A hydraulic cylinder can be attached to the end of the tong handle.

PETOL Visetongs have the unique feature of being easily adjusted to various pipe sizes by simply sliding the heat-treated PETOL Special Chain through the jaw of the tong and engaging the pawl. The pawl is locked in position by the pawl latch. Regardless of the load on the handle, these tongs will not jam.

PETOL Visetongs have minimum crushing effect, and great strength for their weight. Made of high-quality steel, these tongs are equipped with replaceable high-speed steel PETOL Diamond Point Inserts, which minimize marring of pipe surfaces. PETOL Visetongs come in both pushup and pulldown designs.

Note: Chains assemblies for Visetongs must be ordered separately.

PUSHUP VISETONGS
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.
