5-1/2”
Models

The KT5500 hydraulic tubing tong can handle tubulars as small as 2-1/16" and as large as 5-1/2" in diameter. Wraparound jaw and die technology for the two tong jaws is available. Also available with low-marking CHROMEMASTER™ "Head" jaw assembly mated to a 5-1/2" tong. Tong can be mounted on either a CLINCHER® or FARR® hydraulic backup. Available with McCoy's patented WinCatt® data acquisition and torque control system for the make-up of tubular connections.

 

The CLE5500UHT tubing tong is an open-throat design that can handle tubulars as large as 5-1/2" in diameter in the tong and 6-1/4" in the backup. The hydraulic backups can accommodate tubulars as large as 4" or 4-1/2". The system features two jaws in the tong and three jaws in the backup, which encircle the pipe. Wraparound jaws and dies, combined with our low-friction jaw technology, constant radial load cam system, and compensating jaw design, provide exceptional gripping capabilities with reduced pipe deformation, stress, and marking. Using our non-marking aluminum die system or GRITFACE® Dies in the tong and backup will allow stainless steel corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) to be run as quickly and easily as traditional tongs run conventional steel tubulars.

 

The CLE5500XHT drillpipe tong is an open-throat design that can handle tubulars as large as 5-1/2" in diameter. It has a very compact footprint for snubbing units. The system features two jaws in the tong and three jaws in the backup, which encircle the pipe. Wraparound jaws and dies, combined with our low-friction jaw technology, constant radial load cam system, and compensating jaw design, provide exceptional gripping capabilities with reduced pipe deformation, stress, and marking. Using our non-marking aluminum die system or GRITFACE® Dies in the tong and backup will allow stainless steel corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) to be run as quickly and easily as traditional tongs run conventional steel tubulars.
