Lifting Sub for Drill String Handling and Rig Operations
A Lifting Sub provides a secure lifting point for drill string components. Rig crews use it with an elevator to lift, handle and move downhole equipment safely during drilling operations.
This tool connects to the upper end of a drill string component. As a result, it helps the crew control heavy equipment more safely on the rig floor. It also supports faster tripping operations and reduces handling time during tool assembly or equipment change-out.

Saxon supplies Lifting Subs for drill string and rig floor handling applications. These tools come in different diameters to match project requirements. Saxon can also provide standard API thread connections for compatibility with common drilling equipment.
Choosing the correct lifting sub is important for safe lifting and smooth rig operations. Therefore, each lifting sub should match the required size, thread type and application.
