The CLINCHER® CLES5500 tubing tong is an open-throat design that can handle tubulars from as small as 2-1/16" to as large as 5-1/2" in diameter. The BUC6375 hydraulic backup can accommodate tubulars as large as 5-1/2".The system features two jaws in the tong and three jaws in the backup, which encircle the pipe. Wraparound jaws and dies, combined with our low-friction jaw technology, constant radial load cam system, and compensating jaw design, provide exceptional gripping capabilities with reduced pipe deformation, stress, and marking. Using our non-marking aluminum die system or GRITFACE® Dies in the tong and backup will allow stainless steel corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) to be run as quickly and easily as traditional tongs run conventional steel tubulars.
