01
Suspended Tubular Movement
Pipes and tubular loads can rotate, swing or change position during crane and rigging operations.
Hands-Off Tubular Control
Control the Tubular. Keep Hands Away.
PSC TubularGuider® is a specialized push/pull safety tool designed to help operators control, guide, position and release suspended tubulars and pipes while maintaining separation between the worker and the moving load.

The Challenge
Tubular loads can move unexpectedly.
Suspended tubulars can swing, rotate or shift while crews guide, align and land them. Direct hand contact during these movements can place workers close to pinch, crush and caught-between zones.
02
Hands Near the Load
Reaching directly toward the tubular brings hands closer to the load and surrounding structures.
03
Final Alignment
The final guiding and landing stages may require precise control while the tubular remains suspended.
04
Hands-Off Control
TubularGuider® provides a dedicated physical tool between the operator and the suspended tubular.
The Solution
PSC TubularGuider® Push/Pull Tool
A specialized hands-off tool designed specifically for controlling suspended tubulars and pipes during industrial handling and positioning operations.
01
Tubular Engagement System
The strap/noose arrangement allows TubularGuider® to engage a tubular or pipe so it can be controlled without the operator directly gripping the load.
02
Durable Aluminium Shaft
The aluminium shaft provides the structural support required for industrial tubular-guiding operations.
03
Non-Slip Grip
Grip areas are designed to give operators secure tool control during push, pull and tubular-positioning operations.
04
Locking Mechanism
The locking mechanism supports dependable engagement and control during tubular-handling operations.
05
Dual-Release System
TubularGuider® provides both a spring-loaded noose release and slide control for disengaging the tubular.
Dual-Release System
Two ways to release the tubular.
The TubularGuider® control system includes two release methods to provide controlled disengagement of the strap/noose from the tubular.
Spring-Loaded Noose Release
Allows controlled extension of the noose system to disengage from the tubular.
Slide Control
Provides an additional method for rapidly releasing the noose from the tubular.

Applications
Built around suspended tubular handling.
TubularGuider® supports several stages of tubular and pipe positioning while helping the operator avoid direct hand contact with the suspended load.
Grab Tubulars
Use the TubularGuider® engagement system to establish control of a tubular without directly gripping the suspended pipe by hand.
Guide Tubulars Into Position
Assist with guiding suspended tubulars toward their required installation or staging position.
Guide & Land Suspended Loads
Maintain control as suspended tubular loads approach the final landing or positioning area.
Guide & Move Pipes
Use the tool to assist directional movement of suspended pipes during industrial handling operations.
Pull Suspended Pipes
The tubular engagement arrangement allows the operator to pull the pipe toward the required position while remaining separated from the load.
