Description
One handling tool for multiple drill-pipe diameters
The Drill Pipe Multi Handling Tool is designed for push-and-pull control of suspended drill pipe in vertical and horizontal positions. Its head accommodates pipe from 2⅜ to 6½ inches without interchangeable mechanical parts, allowing one tool design to support several drill-pipe sizes. CK Loosbrock USA supplies the tool across the Americas and can help crews choose the handle length that suits the work area, confirm current documentation and request availability.
Best suited for
- Vertical and horizontal positioning of suspended drill pipe.
- Drill tools, fishing tools, BHA components, pup joints and workover activities.
- Hose and bulk-hose handling where the specified diameter range is suitable.
- Rig-floor and catwalk work requiring push-and-pull control after the load is stabilized.
- Workshop or manufacturing areas where a shorter handle helps in restricted spaces.
Choosing the right configuration
First confirm that the pipe or hose diameter falls within the manufacturer’s 2⅜- to 6½-inch range. Then select the handle length according to working distance and available space. The 850 mm model is the shortest listed option for tighter work areas, while the 1200 mm and 1500 mm versions provide longer reach. All three listed models use an enclosed handle.

Application guidance
Use the tool only after the suspended load has been stabilized and communication with the driller, crane operator and banksman is established. Insert the pipe into the head opening until it reaches the V sections, then rotate the handle as described by the manufacturer to make contact with the rubber profiles. The tool complements tag-line use and the approved handling plan.
Safety and use limitations
- Always wear the personal protective equipment required by the site procedure.
- Maintain communication with the driller or crane operator and work with the banksman during the lift.
- Identify an escape path before drill-pipe handling begins.
- Only engage pipe or hoses when the load is stationary.
- Use tag lines to stabilize swinging loads from a safe position and never stand under a suspended load.
- Insert the pipe fully into the V sections before rotating the handle to establish contact.
- Release the tool by returning the handle to the neutral position before pulling it away from the pipe.
- Store the tool in a dry location when it is not in use.
- This tool is not designed for leveraging activities.

Frequently asked questions
What drill-pipe range does the tool cover?
The manufacturer specifies a diameter range from 2⅜ to 6½ inches.
Are mechanical adjustments required for different pipe sizes?
The head has no moving mechanical parts. The manufacturer’s procedure uses pipe position and handle rotation to establish contact across the stated range.
Which handle length should I choose?
Choose 850 mm for more restricted work areas, or 1200 mm or 1500 mm when the approved procedure calls for additional reach.
Can the tool be used for hoses?
The manufacturer lists hose and bulk-hose applications. Confirm the diameter, handling plan and suitability for the specific hose before ordering.
Does the tool replace a tag line?
No. It includes tag-line retrieval capability and is intended to work alongside tag lines and the approved lifting procedure.
