Abstract: A telescopic elevator bail is arranged to be able to be used dynamically in well operations in the petroleum industry. The elevator bail comprises a sleeve provided with a first attachment organ and a muzzle portion, and a rod arranged to be able to be displaced telescopically relative to the sleeve along the common longitudinal axis of the sleeve and the rod. The rod is provided with at least one through hole perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the rod and the hole is arranged to be able to accommodate an actuator actuable holding bolt. The sleeve is provided with at least one catch bolt. The catch bolt is provided with an inward projecting holding portion. The rod is provided with a first shoulder portion arranged to rest on the holding portion of the catch bolt when the sleeve and the rod exhibit their relatively longest longitudinal displacement. A method is for utilizing the elevator bail.
