Drill Pipe Tongs: Drill pipe an industrial tubular used for drilling into the ground are screwed together using a tong to form a drill string. Eckel Drill Pipe Tongs are ideal at reducing drill time and lowering costs. They are designed for quick and safe make-up and break-out of drill pipe and drill collars. These tongs are available in sizes 2-3/8" to 10".

Eckel Drill Pipe Tongs are ideal at reducing drill time and lowering costs.

Casing Tong: Casing a tubular structure placed in the drill hole to maintain the well opening and more recently used in the drill process. Available for sizes from 5-1/2” to 36” and designed to handle the high torque casing and lightweight casing. Providing rotational torque up to 130,000 ft-lbs.

Eckel Casing Tongs are perfectly designed to quickly handle your casing requirements.

Tubing Tongs: Tubing used for extracting oil and gas from reservoirs are ruggedly designed and provide reliable performance even at the higher torque’s that are required to break premium connections. Our Radial Lock Door and Hydra-Shift technology coupled with our two-speed great train assures you reliability and minimal maintenance with quick operator turn-around. These tongs handle tubing sizes ranging from 1.050” to 5-1/2”.

Eckel Tubing Tongs deliver fast turnaround times and reliable tubular connections.

Tong Positioning:A tong positioning system maneuvers any size of Eckel hydraulic power tongs precisely around the tubular during running and pulling operations. One operator controls the tong positioning and tong functions hydraulically from the rig floor.

Eckel Remote Operated Tongs: Provides a mean to control a hydraulic power tong from a remotely located console for tubular make-up and break-out operation. The tong is based upon the standard tong and backup configuration with the exception of hydraulic cylinders installed on the unit for remote control of the operational functions of the tong and backup. These functions include the tong door, backing pin, mechanical gear shift. Power tong rotation, motor speed, and backup gripping are also configured for remote operation. The Remote Operated Tongs use a total hydraulic system with no electrical or electronic devices included.

Hydraulic Power Units: Eckel's standard diesel or electric power packages at 65 GPM and 2,500 psi (246 LPM / 172 bar) are widely recognized for dependability and long, trouble-free service.Eckel will customize hydraulic power systems in the shortest possible time to meet "nonstandard" requirements for space, fluid flow, auxiliary power, portability, etc.

Diesel driven units are optionally supplied with automatic shut down systems to prevent engine run away when explosive gasses are present. Additional shut downs include engine oil temperature, oil pressure, and fan belt breakage. All controls are either air, mechanical or electrical.
