1.0 Introduction
Keystone ENERGY TOOLS
This manual contains operation and maintenance
instructions for the Keystone Energy Tools (KET) “SJ”
series single joint elevator and provides instruction for
its proper field use, disassembly and repair; including a
complete parts breakdown.
(KET) “SJ” elevators are designed to replace rope
slings for hoisting collar type and bottleneck pipe into
position when adding to a string. SJ elevators allow the
crew to handle pipe properly, thus avoiding pipe thread
damage and reduces the chances of accidents/injuries.
The SJ series pick up elevator has a simple, reliable
latch that closes simultaneously when the elevator is
closed. To ensure the Latch does not open, the Latch
Lock Pin must be used. The size range of the SJ
series elevator is as illustrated in the table provided.
(See Figure 5)
If the safety latch lock pin is installed correctly, then the
SJ series elevator can perform non-vertical lifts
(picking up of horizontal pipe). Failure to not install the
safety latch lock pin correctly may result in injury or
death. (See Figure 4)
If the Safety Latch Lock Pin is inserted into the Latch
or Door Lug before closing the Elevator, the Safety
Latch Lock Pin will prevent the latch from fully
engaging the Latch Lug on the door resulting in a
partial/false latch. (See Figure 1-3)
2.0 Installation & Operation
NOTE: Use on pipe weighing 7.5- Short Tons (6.8
metric tons) or less.
As with any manual operated elevator, the SJ is easily
installed by the user. Perform the actions prescribed
below after the elevator is hoisted to the rig floor and
properly positioned.
Remove the bolt from the shackle on the
swivel suspension assembly.
Attach the shackle over the lifting eye on the
elevator then replace the bolt to the shackle.
Repeat the process for the opposite lifting eye.
To remove the elevator, simply reverse the
process.
The operation of the SJ elevator is straightforward. The
door is opened by removing the Safety Latch Pin and
pulling outward on the Latch. When the elevator is
properly closed around the pipe, install the Latch Lock
Pin Retainer.
Model Tons Range
SJ-30 7.5 4” – 5 7/8”
SJ-40 7.5 5 ½” – 8 5/8”
SJ-50 7.5 9 5/8” – 10 ¾”
