GEOMETRY MATTERS
The shape of the task
shapes the tool.
A quality V-head tool is useful only where its contact geometry fits. Other tasks need other interfaces.
MATCH THE INTERFACE
Look beyond a familiar head.
| Task / interface | Explore | Selection consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Edges and suitable engagement points | V-head push/pull range | Does the head seat securely in the required direction? |
| Round tubular loads | TubularGuider® | Review strap fit, diameter, access and release. |
| Suitable ferrous surfaces | Magnetic push/pull tools | Review steel thickness, coating, curvature, air gaps and release. |
| Rig-floor pipe positioning | Drill pipe / casing tools | Select for the specific operation and pipe geometry. |
| Sling and chain positioning | SlingGrab | Confirm opening, sling/chain size and retrieval method. |
| Remote load orientation | Safety taglines | Review attachment, snagging, travel paths and exclusion zones. |
