High-Efficiency Pipe Laydown Machine Services
Automated Handling. Enhanced Safety. Zero Damage.
At JEC Tubing Testers, we provide more than just inspection; we provide the mechanical solutions to move your assets safely. Our pipe laydown machine services are designed to bridge the gap between the pipe rack and the drill floor, eliminating the dangers of manual pipe handling and the structural risks of using outdated slinging methods.
Equipped with precision pipe grabbers, our units are optimized for tubing sizes ranging from 2-3/8″ through 4-1/2″, ensuring a secure grip and smooth transition every time.
The Advantage of Hydraulic Pipe Grabbers
Traditional pipe handling is one of the most hazardous activities on a wellsite. Our pipe laydown machine utilizes advanced hydraulic “pipe grabber” technology to provide:
Thread Protection
By mechanically stabilizing the pipe, we prevent “swinging” or dragging that can damage sensitive threads and seals.
Precision Placement
Our operators use the pipe grabber to deliver the tubing exactly where the floor hands need it, reducing the physical strain on your crew.
Consistent Cycle Times
Automation allows for a steady, predictable rhythm during pickup and laydown operations, helping you stay ahead of the clock.
Why Choose JEC for Pipe Handling?
A pipe laydown machine is only as good as the operator behind the controls. At JEC, our technicians are trained to treat your tubulars as high-value assets.
Reduced Risk of Injury
By removing personnel from the “red zone” of moving pipe, our machine significantly lowers the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) on your location.
Versatile Footprint
Our units are designed to fit onto tight locations, providing high-capacity handling without crowding the wellhead or the catwalk area.
Seamless Integration
We coordinate directly with your rig crew to ensure our pipe laydown machine works in perfect sync with your tripping or completion schedule.
Safety is Our Standard
Safety isn’t just a requirement; it’s the core of our business. Our pipe laydown machine fleet is regularly inspected and maintained to meet the strict standards of our ISNetworld, PEC, and DISA affiliations. When you hire JEC, you are hiring a team that prioritizes the well-being of every person on the job site.
