Dual Safety Multi-Purpose Clamping System

Dual Safety Multi-Purpose Clamping System

The Hands-Free Safety Clamps have the best of both types of clamping systems, but are safer and quicker to use. They blend the standard clam clamp system with a bottom rod wrench and a top set of breakout clamps.

The Safety Clamps provide a 8.8" ID bottom clam clamp which doubles up as a holder for the rod wiper when rod drilling. It can even grip PVC sewer pipe without damaging it for simple casing installation, great for geothermal. Inter the middle is a rod/auger holding plate to stop the drill string from turning or dropping down the hole.

The top clamps can grip 2.5" OD pipe to 8.8" casing with a combined gripping force of over 40,000lbs with a breaking out torque of up to 17,000 ft.lbs.

Available for retrofit applications.

Advanced Clamping Systems - Double Breakouts

Advanced Clamping System

The Double Breakout Clamps have an adjustable internal diameter to accommodate both drill rods and larger casings. The ID can be further reduced to 0.75" (19 mm) with optional ' long jaw-blocks'. Equipped with a top set of swivelling hydraulic clamps for breakout actions and a fixed set of bottom clamps for gripping. The jaw-blocks have replaceable hardened steel teeth or 'jaw inserts' to seurely hold casings and rods.

The distance between the top and bottom set of clamps is adjustable for various types of drill rod couplings. The slew ring is a bolt together assembly for easy maintenance. The Double Breakout Clamps are specifically designed for rope thread casings to allow thread float.

Available for retrofit application and with clamp pressure controls and flow balancers for smooth operation.

Standard Clamping Systems - Clam Clamps

Standard Clamping System

The Clamp Clamps are an easy to use hydraulic breakout clamping system capable of gripping drill rods and havy duty steel casings. Carefully sized replaceable inserts or 'slips' are used to ensure a tight grip with a built in wiper seal system to keep the rods clean.

The Clam Clamps provide a 9" ID up to an optional 12" ID if required for larger casing projects. The hydraulic breakout cylinder and inclued wrench increases breakout speeds and overall drill time.

The 'clam' or gate clamping system provides even gripping force for use with thin walled, PVC or even cardboard casings. Extra slips to fit casings not included.

Available for retrofit applications.

Optional DTH Hammer Wrench also available on request.
