Bilco Tools, Inc. is a name that has long been synonymous with dual pipe handling equipment. Bilcos 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 Bilcos Dual Automatic Spider and Elevator, now provide the operator with a technically unique dual handling package.
