push /pull poles
PSC Push/Pull poles are primarily designed to assist with hands-free guiding and to ensure safety during hands-free operations. They facilitate the safe guiding, spotting, and landing of suspended tools. Additionally, they help maneuver drill pipes and manage taglines and sling legs. Most importantly, their main function is to protect users from pinch and crush points in various work areas.
Push/Pull Poles – What are these ?
Push-pull poles are critical tools designed to enable hands-free guiding, spotting, and landing of suspended loads. They are commonly used to maneuver drill pipes and various tubulars on pipe racks or platforms, as well as to retrieve or control taglines and sling legs.
By establishing a safe working distance, push-pull poles help create a protective zone for workers, minimizing exposure to pinch points and crush hazards. These tools allow personnel to guide suspended loads without placing their hands in high-risk areas, significantly reducing the likelihood of injury.
Globally, more than a dozen variants of push-pull poles are available from leading manufacturers. Notable brands include Stiffy™, PSC Shove-it™, and PSC LoadGuider from India, among others. These poles are constructed from materials such as hardwood, aluminum, or fiberglass, and are equipped with heads made from rubber, nylon, aluminum, or similar durable materials to suit various operational needs.
