HSF Rack Back Tool

HSF Rack Back Tool

The HSF Rack Back Tool is a no-touch hand safety tool designed to improve operator safety during pipe rack-back and tubular handling operations. It enables workers to guide, push, and position pipes without placing their hands directly on the load, significantly reducing exposure to pinch points, crush hazards, and hand injuries.

Engineered for drilling rigs and industrial tubular handling, the tool allows close body positioning while maintaining a safe hand-off distance, ensuring controlled maneuvering of drill pipe stands after disconnection from the drillstring.

Product Overview

The HSF Rack Back Tool provides a controlled, hands-free method for maneuvering drill pipes and tubulars during rack-back operations. By keeping hands away from suspended or moving loads, it supports safer work practices without compromising control, balance, or operational efficiency.

Ideal for oil & gas drilling rigs and heavy industrial environments, the tool integrates seamlessly into standard rack-back procedures while reinforcing hand safety compliance.

Key Applications

  • No-Touch Pipe Control
    Keeps hands safely away from pipes during rack-back and maneuvering operations.
  • Close-Body Handling Capability
    Allows operators to maintain proper body positioning and balance while guiding loads.
  • Reduces Hand & Pinch-Point Injuries
    Minimizes risk of crushed fingers, caught-between hazards, and impact injuries.
  • Designed for Tubulars & Cylindrical Objects
    Effective for drill pipes, casings, and other round or suspended components.
  • Simple, Rugged Construction
    Built for demanding rig and industrial environments with minimal training required.

Key Features & Benefits

1.No-Touch Pipe Handling
Keeps hands completely off drill pipes and tubulars during rack-back operations, reducing exposure to pinch and crush hazards.

2.Controlled Load Guidance
Allows operators to guide and push pipes while maintaining close body control for stability and precision.

3.Reduces Hand & Finger Injuries
Minimizes risks associated with suspended loads, moving pipes, and confined workspaces.

4.Designed for Cylindrical Objects
Optimized for drill pipes, casings, and other round or tubular components.

5.Simple & Reliable Design
Easy to use with minimal training; no moving parts or complex mechanisms.

6.Rugged for Harsh Environments
Built to withstand demanding drilling rig and industrial conditions.

Technical Specifications

Product Name: HSF Rack Back ToolPart Numbers: HSF-RB01 / HSF-RB02
Application Type: No-touch pipe and tubular handling
Operating Use: Manual push and guidance of pipes
Typical Environment:
Drilling rigs
Oil & gas operations
Industrial tubular handling areas
Load Interaction: Suspended and stationary pipes
User Interface: Hands-off contact point

How It Works

  • Position the Tool
    The operator places the HSF Rack Back Tool against the pipe or tubular at the designated contact point.
  • Apply Controlled Push Force
    Using the tool, the operator pushes or guides the pipe during rack-back or maneuvering—without hand contact.
  • Maintain Safe Distance
    Hands remain safely away from the load while the body stays close enough for balance and control.
  • Guide to Final Position
    The pipe is safely aligned into the rack or desired position with reduced risk of sudden movement or injury.

Performance Advantages

  • Enhances operator safety during high-risk rack-back operations
  • Maintains precise control without direct hand contact
  • Supports safer work procedures and hand safety initiatives
  • Reduces downtime caused by hand injuries
  • Easy to adopt without changes to existing workflows

Industry Use Cases

1.Oil & Gas Drilling Rigs
Rack-back operations and handling of drill pipe stands after disconnection from the drillstring.
2.Rig Floor & Derrick Operations
Guiding suspended tubulars where direct hand contact is unsafe.
3.Pipe Handling & Storage Areas
Pushing and aligning pipes in racks without placing hands near pinch points.
4.Heavy Industrial & Mechanical Plants
Maneuvering cylindrical components where close control is required.
5.Maintenance & Installation Activities
Situations requiring controlled pushing of pipes or round objects in tight spaces.
