Handling & Hoisting
The Lifting Bail (Lifting Eye) is a handling and hoisting accessory designed to provide a safe lifting point for drill string tools such as drill collars, stabilizers, subs, and heavy BHA components. It is commonly used on the rig floor, in yards, and during transportation operations where tools must be lifted by hook or sling.
Unionlever OFS supplies lifting bails in common sizes and configurations, with dimensions selected by tool OD / connection size and the required lifting practice, supporting stable handling and reduced operational risk.
