VariLINK® adjustable bail extensions play a key role in Volant’s Light Footprint™ Tubular Running Solutions. They remove extra equipment from the rig, facilitate a lightweight simple rig up and provide extra confidence when stabbing, contributing to a fast, safe and cost-effective job.
Designed for use with a single joint elevator through a 5/8” shackle, the extensions are rated to 25 ton and are large enough to be compatible with up to 500 ton bail eyes.
