DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION

1 Description
1.1 General
The Forum B + V Oil Tools Elevator is designed with
strength and safety factors in accordance with API Section
8C - Regulations and will be used for handling drill collar
or tubing.
- This manual is applicable for manually operated
elevator type SDL-100 and SDL-150.
- SDL-Elevators have a fixed diameter (bore code)
machined into the elevator body.
Benefits and Features
- One-hand operation of the door
The locking system of the SDL offers easy operation
with simultaneous high safety.
- Decreased HSE risks with safety pin features—“no-go”
function when door is open
- Maximized quality and durability as the body and door
are forged
- Improved efficiency and reduced downtime since the
SDL elevators are easy to install and rotate due to their
ergonomic round ear geometry
- Increased flexibility and options with the addition of the
a SDL-100 frame option
- Designed for collar-type casing, tubing and collars, 90
degree shoulder
- The elevator cannot be opened when it is loaded.
- Lower ears load-rated to 5 tons for attaching slings/
single joint option
1.2 Design Specification
The Side Door Elevator is designed as a hoist for installing
and transporting pipe constructions, drill rods and drill
pipes. The Side Door Elevator is weight-optimised. In
addition, it is possible to attach a Single Joint Elevator
below the SDL. Thereby, many lifting tasks can be carried
out with an elevator one after the other. Better swivelling
capability is enabled with round holders for the links.
These will hold the pipes better.
● Material and manufacturing standard in accordance to
ISO 13535:2002/API 8C
1.3 Identification
The identification area clearly identifies the Elevator
area (manufacturer, type, material, part number, API-
license number, serial number, date of manufacture). It is
important to keep this information ready for the purpose
of servicing and repair work.

3 Installation and Transport
WARNINGaENSURE THAT SETUP AND INSTALLATION WORK ARE
ACCOMPLISHED ONLY BY SUFFICIENTLY QUALIFIED AND TRAINED PERSONNEL.
WARNINGaREAD THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
SETTING UP THE MACHINE AND PUTTING IT INTO SERVICE.
3.1 Delivery
The SDL and all accessory parts are shipped in a transport
crate. Instructions for safe transport are attached to the
transport crate. Transport the packed machine as specified
in these instructions.
3.1.1 Scope of Delivery
The scope of delivery includes all components required for
the intended operation of the SDL Side Door Elevators as
described in Chapter „Technical Data“ on page 11.
Check scope of delivery
1. Is any transport damage visible?
2. Is the shipment complete? Compare the scope
of delivery with the specifications in the shipping
documents.
NOTEaTHE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND SHIPMENT PAPERS SPECIFY
THE PRECISE SCOPE OF DELIVERY. CHECK THESE DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY
ON DELIVERY. INTHE EVENT OF ANY DISCREPANCIES PLEASE CONTACT THE
FORUM B + V OIL TOOLS REPRESENTATIVE IMMEDIATELY.
3.1.2 Unpacking and Disposal
of Packing Material
Remove the transport packaging and transport aids before
hoisting the machine.
WARNINGaDONOT REMOVE TRANSPORT RETAINERS. THE
TRANSPORT RETAINERS SHOULD BE REMOVED ONLY AT THE INSTALLATION
SITE JUST BEFORE STARTUP.
Dispose of the packaging material ecologically in
compliance with all applicable regulations.
3.1.3 Intermediate Storage
If intermediate storage of the SDL is necessary, observe the
following:
Leave the machine in transport packaging.
This provides sufficient protection against external
influences.
Secure the machine to prevent it from slipping or falling
due to motion.
3.2 Lifting and transport
WARNINGaLIFT THE SDL ELEVATOR ON THE LIFTING EARS ONLY.
WARNINGaSUSPENDED LOAD!
THE FALLING LOAD CAN CAUSE SEVERE, EVEN LETHAL INJURIES. NEVER
LOITER BENEATH OR IN THE SWING AREA OF LIFTED LOADS OR LOADS
SUSPENDED FROM ACRANE.
WARNINGaWEAR YOUR PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT AT
ALL TIMES.
Principles for transport of the SDL hydraulic operated
elevator:
1. Ensure that transport routes are sufficiently
dimensioned.
2. Always use pallets for longer transport distances.
3. The total weight (object to be transported + means of
transport, e.g. forklift) must not exceed the supporting
capacity of the subsurface.
4. Ensure that such work is performed only by sufficiently
qualified personnel.
5. Always shut off machine before transport and
secure against starting back up unintentionally. Start
deinstallation only after residual energy has been
dissipated.
6. Ensure that visual and audio contact exists between
the crane operator and operating personnel.
7. Secure the area against unauthorized entry. If
necessary mark the area with information signs to
warn of maintenance and repair work.
8. Use only approved slinging and transport equipment,
which is in perfect condition and suitable for the
intended purpose. Observe specified load limits.
9. Secure machine against slipping/sliding.
Observe machine weight. Observe center of gravity.
10. Never loiter under suspended loads.
11. Transport the machine carefully. Do not fasten, lift or
pull machine on parts, that could be damaged. Avoid
sudden stops.
12. Always use hoisting equipment (slings, hoisting cables,
shackles, etc.), which has been inspected and is
sufficiently dimensioned.
13. Ensure that all installation and hoisting procedures are
accomplished in compliance with recognized rules of
practice and industrial standards.
