Compact Size...Big Torque...if this is what you are looking for in a power tong, look no further. Our 5-1/2 Hydra-Shift is sized smaller in width than our 5-1/2 Standard model. Like all of our newly developed tongs, the 5-1/2 incorporates the Hydra-Shift technology, allowing the operator to shift from high speed to low speed without having to manually shift the tong. You will see many years of trouble free operation, not to mention the smoother hydraulic shifting. With two models to choose from, Eckel has the right 5-1/2 Hydra-Shift for your needs. The 5-1/2 Hydra-Shift LS with a two-speed motor and a single-speed gear train is the original 5-1/2 Hydra-Shift which has gained wide acceptance in the industry. Slide heads with rig dies are available for handling drill pipe tool joints.
