  • Publication number: 20240133252
    Abstract: A casing lifting system includes a spreader bar, a first lifting cap, and a second lifting cap. The first lifting cap is configured to engage a first end of a first section of drilling casing, and the first lifting cap includes a first lifting lug. The second lifting cap is configured to engage a second end of the first section of drilling casing opposite the first end of the first section of drilling casing, and the second lifting cap includes a second lifting lug. In some embodiments, each of the first and second lifting caps are configured for coupling adjacent to opposing lateral ends of the spreader bar by respective first and second elastic stabilizers coupled between the first and second lifting lugs and first attachment points adjacent to the opposing lateral ends of the spreader bar.

  • Patent number: 8469339
    Abstract: A push/pull tag line includes an elongated rigid member having a first end and a second end located opposite the first end. A flexible member is coupled to the elongated rigid member and extends from the first end of the elongated rigid member. A load connector is coupled to the second end of the elongated rigid member. The tag line may be coupled to a load using the load connector. A pushing force may then be applied to the rigid member that is directed towards the load, and the rigid member will transmit the pushing force to the load to allow precise positioned of the load.

  • Patent number: 7252315
    Abstract: A personnel transfer device is rrovided including a base, a top and a concentric lacings extending between the base and top. An expander post is coupled between the base and top for placing tension in the lacings extending between the base and the top. A hoist connection is provided so that the personnel transfer device may be lifted to transfer personnel therein from one place to another. The lacings are flexible when relaxed, and become taught when placed in tension. The expander post is removable so the base and top can be collapsed together for compact storage.

  • Patent number: 7121600
    Abstract: A personnel transfer device is provided including a base, a top and a concentric lacings extending between the base and top. An expander post is coupled between the base and top for placing tension in the lacings extending between the base and the top. A hoist connection is provided for attachment of the personnel transfer device to a hoist so that the personnel transfer device may be lifted to transfer personnel therein from one place to another. The lacings are flexible when relaxed, and become taught when placed in tension. There are spaces between the taught lacings for easy ingress and egress and the taught lacings act to shield the occupants in the transfer device from inadvertent side impacted. The expander post is removable so the base and top can be collapsed together for compact storage.
