What is a Hydraulic Elevator in Drilling?
In the oil and gas sector, a hydraulic elevator refers to a mechanical system utilized for lifting and maneuvering tubular materials like drill pipes, casings, and collars. Hydraulic types of elevators, unlike manual elevators, employ fluid power to open and close latches as well as hold heavy loads with accuracy. The technology increases efficiency and safety during operations.
