Description
Noose-based pipe positioning support for the Americas
The Offshore Handling Systems Pipe Catcher uses an adjustable, vinyl-coated noose to help crews maneuver suspended pipe from a defined working position. The swivel head, remote adjustment and instant-release mechanism support both vertical and horizontal positioning across the manufacturer-stated 2 to 13 inch pipe range. CK Loosbrock USA can help customers across the Americas select the appropriate pole length and obtain the official specification sheet for the planned operation.
Best suited for
- Open-ended pipe that can be inserted into the adjusted noose.
- Enclosed pipe where the noose must be released, placed around the pipe and reconnected.
- Vertical or horizontal positioning of suspended pipe within the stated diameter range.
- Work areas where a choice of three pole lengths supports access and operator position.
- Handling plans that already include load control, communications and an escape route.
Choosing the correct Pipe Catcher
First confirm the outside diameter and geometry of the pipe, then determine whether the operation requires the open-ended or enclosed-pipe method described by the manufacturer. Select the shortest pole that provides the necessary reach while allowing controlled use from the designated position. The listed sizes are 920, 1220 and 1520 mm. The Pipe Catcher is a positioning aid, so it must be evaluated alongside the lift plan, load behavior and available clearance.

Application guidance
For open-ended pipe, use the wire-release control to enlarge the noose, insert the pipe end and pull the wire back to close the noose around the pipe. For enclosed pipe, activate the instant release, place the noose around the pipe, reconnect it at the top of the tool and apply tension. Maneuver the load only within the approved procedure, then activate the release after the desired position has been achieved. Maintain the communication method assigned by the lift team throughout the movement.
Safety and use limitations
- Wear the personal protective equipment required for the task and work area.
- Follow instructions from the designated banksman, driller or winch operator.
- Stay alert to swinging loads and establish an escape route before starting.
- Confirm that the noose is correctly reconnected and tensioned before moving enclosed pipe.
- Keep hands and body parts away from pinch points, the noose and the suspended load.
- Do not use the Pipe Catcher as a lever. The manufacturer expressly excludes leveraging activities.
- Release the noose only when the pipe has reached the planned position and the procedure permits it.
- Store the tool in a clean, dry location when it is not in use.

Frequently asked questions
What pipe diameters does the Pipe Catcher cover?
The official specification states a range from 2 to 13 inches. Confirm the outside diameter and pipe geometry for the intended use.
Which pole lengths are available?
The manufacturer lists 920, 1220 and 1520 mm models with product codes OHSPC92, OHSPC122 and OHSPC152.
Can it be used on pipe without an open end?
Yes. The specification describes releasing the noose, installing it around enclosed pipe, reconnecting it and applying tension before positioning.
Is the Pipe Catcher a lifting device?
No lifting function is stated. It is described as a tool for maneuvering suspended pipe and must be used within the approved lifting and handling plan.
What information should accompany an enquiry?
Provide pipe diameter, open or enclosed geometry, intended orientation, required reach, work-area restrictions, quantity and delivery location.
