4.3 Packing configuration –Different pipe length
Placement of pipe
Pipe A & B must be full length, and go through all frames. There must be as a minimum, of one pipe in each side per layer, in the position
closest to lifting poles
Securing of short pipes
Extra frames must be placed where it is necessary.
The weight of additional frames and pipes, must be placed even on both sides of centerline.
Lifting poles must be installed in frame assembly 1, but can be avodided in frame assembly 2
For further informations of special configurations, please contact Global Gravity for advise.

Arranging sling during stacking.
1. The slings must be located to
the same side (as shown on
sketch).
2. The next package can be
stacked with the slings
located to the other side (as
shown on sketch).
3. The next package can be
stacked with the slings
located to the same side a
package 1 (as shown on
sketch).
Maximum stacking height and
weight is as following
Note: Whichever comes first
If weight of tubular is unknown, each
TubeLock® package is to be calculated as 6T.

No.:
Description:
Sketch:

Side view:
Stacking of TubeLock® system seen
from the side.
The principle is to offset each
package.
Once placed the first layer, the next
layer must be offset to the side and
hereafter back again.

Top view:
When placing the packages on the
rig.
Packages must be placed as shown
on sketch, to get the benefit of
shifting tubular from package to
package.

Packages must be placed with a
distance of 5mm between the
“thumb” at the lifting pole and the
next pipe.
This distance makes it possible for
free movement of lifting poles and to
ensure that the package can be
stacked with the earlier explained
method.
C-04
It’s important to place the first layer of
packages correctly.
When unlocking the lifting poles,
attention must be given to the
distance explained in C-03.
It is recommended using the
TubeLock® spacer to insure the right
placing.
