SAFETY SLIPS (WA-C & T Types)
WA-C type safety clamps are heavy-duty clamping tools designed to securely hold drill collars and flush joint pipes during handling and positioning operations on drilling rigs. Engineered to prevent pipe slippage, these clamps help ensure stable and controlled operations in demanding rig environments.
Designed to accommodate a wide range of pipe diameters, WA-C safety clamps are manufactured in accordance with API Spec 7K standards, providing reliable performance, enhanced safety, and long-term durability for rig floor operations.
WA-T type safety clamps are wedge-style clamping tools engineered for securely gripping small-diameter tubulars such as drill pipe, tubing, and light casing. Designed for lighter handling tasks, these clamps provide dependable holding force while minimizing the risk of slippage during rig floor operations.
Manufactured to meet API Spec 7K requirements, WA-T safety clamps enhance operational safety and control when handling smaller tubulars, making them well suited for precise and efficient rig floor applications.
