Eckel Manufacturing Co., Inc. : Manufacturer of Hydraulic Power Tongs

Eckel 9-5/8 Hydra-Shift®

(Narrow Body)

When applications require the combination of size and torque up to 18,000 ft-lbs, the Eckel Model 9-5/8 Hydra-Shift meets these requirements. The narrow body design allows this tong to easily operate on smaller rig configurations. A two speed mechanical shift transmission in conjunction with the two speed Hydra-Shift motor provides the operator a flexible choice of torque and RPM’s to work with during make-up or breakout. The 9-5/8 Hydra-Shift is capable of handling a range of pipe from 4-1/2 inches to 9-5/8 inches.

This tong also includes our patented radial door lock for latchless locking of the tong door. The tong door easily swings open or closed and is locked when torque is applied to the tong. When combined with our safety door interlock the tong provides unparallel safety while speeding up the turn around time between connections.
