"NBT Dual Friction Grip" Power Tong
Patented - U.S. Patent Pending - Foreign

 

Bilco Tools, Inc. is a name that has long been synonymous with dual pipe handling equipment. Bilco’s air operated "Dual In-Line" Elevator and "Dual Split Bowl Spider" have been considered the industry standard for many years.

In this tradition, Bilco Tools Inc. now introduces the "NBT" ("Neutrally Balanced Tong") "Dual Friction Grip" power tong.

The "NBT" "Dual Friction Grip" power tong, along with Bilco’s Dual Automatic Spider and Elevator, now provide the operator with a technically unique dual handling package.
