Description
Controlled setback positioning for drill crews in the Americas
The Drill Pipe Set Back Tool is designed for positioning and storing vertical drill pipe in the setback area. Its forward- and rear-facing U-shaped head supports push-and-pull contact, while the shoulder attachment provides a separate pushing position for final placement. The layout helps the operator work from outside the landing area. CK Loosbrock USA can help customers across the Americas select the listed 1200 or 1500 mm enclosed-handle configuration.
Best suited for
- Drill-floor setback operations involving vertical pipe stands.
- Positioning a suspended stand after the connection has been broken.
- Push-and-pull adjustment around drill pipe up to 5⅞ inches.
- Tasks that require the operator’s feet to remain outside the landing area.
- Handling plans that use tag lines and clear driller or winch-operator communication.
Choosing the correct length
The manufacturer lists enclosed-handle models in 1200 and 1500 mm lengths. Select according to the setback layout, stand position, operator clearance and approved movement sequence. The longer option adds reach but should not be treated as permission to apply leverage. Confirm pipe outside diameter is within the stated 5⅞-inch limit and check whether one or more tools are required by the site-specific handling plan. Custom lengths are described as available on request.

Application guidance
After breaking the connection, lower the stand toward the setback area under the driller’s direction. Engage the U-shaped attachment around the stand above the drill-pipe collar. Use the correct side for the required push or pull function. The manufacturer states that maximum positioning force is achieved by using the shoulder attachment in the pushing action. Keep the tool aligned with the planned direction of movement and coordinate every adjustment with the driller and winch operator.
Safety and use limitations
- Wear the personal protective equipment required for drill-floor work.
- Keep feet clear of the setback landing area at all times.
- Never stand in front of the link or tilt assembly.
- Remain alert to swinging loads and plan an escape route before moving the stand.
- Use clear communication with the driller and winch operators.
- Do not use the tool as a lever. This limitation applies even when additional reach is available.
- Inspect the head, staff, grip and grommets before use.
- Store the tool in a clean, dry location after the task.
