In Charge Of Buying A Pulling Unit? What This Is And Tips To Buy One
If your company has put you in charge of buying a new pulling unit and you do not understand much about them, this can be difficult to do. To help, below is information about what a pulling unit is, as well as some tips to help you purchase one that will work best for your company.
Pulling Unit
A pulling unit is used in the industrial industry, such as in oilfields. These units can also be used in the agricultural industry.
If used in the oil field industry, the pulling unit is mostly used to remove the tubing that is placed inside machinery. If your company uses wellbores, a pulling unit can remove drilling rods inside the wellbore. Removing these rods can be very difficult, but a pulling unit will make things much easier and quicker for you. This is because wellbores are enclosed within cement or steel in many cases. The pulling unit can cut through the material to pull the rods out.
Pulling units are very beneficial to use if there is damage inside a wellbore, such as a leak or pressure problems. The pulling unit lifts the damaged equipment, such as the equipment used for drilling holes and the casing from the wellbore. You can then make the needed repairs, and the pulling unit can then lift the repaired equipment and then place the equipment back into the wellbore. This is beneficial as being able to make the needed repairs quicker will allow you to keep your work flowing.
Pulling Unit Buying Tips
There are many things you need to take into consideration when purchasing a pulling unit. One of the most important is the pulling force of the unit. You need to ensure the unit has enough power to pull what you need it to. You also need to make sure the cable size is correct, as well as know how quickly it can pull equipment.
The pulley base is also important as it needs to be strong enough to handle the weight of the equipment you need to pull, as well as the rate of speed of the pulling unit. The hydraulic flow rate is something else to take into consideration. The higher the rate, the more powerful the pulling unit.
How much the pulling unit costs will be determined by what you choose. It is beneficial to spend more money if you need to, however, as the last thing you want to have happen is to purchase a pulling unit and then find that it is not powerful enough for you.
Talk to the salesperson where you are purchasing your pulling unit to help you make the best choices.
