1. Product Introduction
SE350 casing elevator/spider is a kind of pneumatically operated well head
tools, applicable for onshore and offshore casing operation. It can handle
casing ranging from 4” to 14”. By operating the reversing air valve may bring
slips up or down to clamp or release casing. Meanwhile, the lock device on
control valve may lock slips safely.
SE500 casing elevator/spider can be used alone as a spider, or as an
elevator. The elevator is fitted with a bell guide and bottom guide. The spider is
fitted with a top guide that centers the spider over the master bushing. (Fig. 1)
The elevator is attached to the derrick traveling block and hook with 350 ton
standard API links. The Spider locates directly on the pin drive master bushing
(27 1/2 MSPC, 37 1/2 and 49 1/2 MPCH), and square drive master bushing
(27 1/2 MSS), and will accommodate any other master bushing when used
with an Adapter Plate.

3. Main Parts Structure and Working Principle

3.1 Main Parts Structure
SE350 casing elevator/spider mainly involves housing assembly (include
house, active hinged pin, etc.), balance beam assembly, spider assembly
(include slips, inserts, etc.), air line assembly (include control valve), air
cylinder parts and manual socket.
3.2 Working principle
Operating reversing valve will activate air cylinders to raise or lower the
slips. The slips are suspended on two inter-locking leveling beams that are
driven by four air cylinders. This feature allows the slips to operate in
synchronization in both the set and raised positions, while permitting the
cylinders to work together so no one cylinder overrides any other, causing
misalignment and binding. A manual override system is also provided in the

4 Goldenman Petroleum Equipment Co., Ltd

 SE350 Casing Elevator/Spider Operation Manual

event of a temporary loss of rig air pressure.

A G1/2” filter-regulator (to be prepared by user) will
regulate and filter the rig air and send it to the lubricator (mounted on the
Elevator and Spider) to add a small amount of oil mist to lubricate the four drive
cylinders. The air from the lubricator is sent to the control valve that operates
the leveling beams. As directed by the control lever, the air cylinders will raise
or lower the slips attached to the leveling beam.

4. Installation
4.1 Prepare a G1/2” filter-regulator and a tee joint.
4.2 Refer to Table 1 and check slips, inserts, bell guide and to guide for
meeting the casing size to handle. And ensure all the parts are fixed correctly
in place. Refer to Fig.1 and Fig.3 for installation.

Regulator-Filter attached to rig air resource

4.3 Installing spider
The spider should be set on master bushing, and fastened by anchor chain.
If opening of rotary table is less than 20 1/2” I.D., (with bushing removed), it is
needed to install the adaptor plate on the top of rotary table.
4.4 Installing elevator
Attach links to two ears of Elevator and secure with bolts.
4.5 Connecting Air Lines
4.5.1 Mount regulator-filter at a location on derrick. Connect air-in end with air
source and the air-out end with a tee joint, which will connect Elevator and
Spider respectively.
4.5.2 Attach a 50 foot long, 1/2” air line between Elevator and the Stand Pipe
located 45 feet above the rig floor, near the derrick stabbing board. Both ends
of air lines are quick disconnecting type.
4.5.3 Attach a 25 foot 1/2” air line between Spider and regulator-filter.
4.5.4 Attach rig air line to regulator-filter and adjust regulator to 0.7-0.8MPa.
Note: If the regulator-filter will not remain permanently with rig, use two
50 foot air lines. Tie one 50 foot section of hose 45 feet above floor near casing
stabber. Attach second section of hose to first hose with the other end to
Elevator.
4.6 Removing and Replacing Slip Segments
4.6.1 Removing Slip Segments-Fig.4
a. Power the slip segments to the up position.
b. Connect an overhead lift
hook into slip segment lifting ring.
With the weight off the remove
lynch pin.
c. Remove link pin.
d. Remove a single slip
segment.
e. Repeat steps b through c
and remove other slip segments.
4.6.2 Installing Replacement Slip

Segment
a. Apply liberal amount of multi-purpose grease to back of
replacement slip segment and mating bowl surfaces.
Note: Back of segment and inside of Spider must be clean before
applying grease and slip segments.
b. Using the hoist, lower the required slip segment in place, aligning link
with mating hole on slip segment.
c. Install lower pin in place and insert lynch pin in lower pin.
d. Repeat steps a through c to install other slip segment.
4.7 Removing and Installing Guides
4.7.1 Removing Guides-Fig.5
a. Remove removable hinge pin with lift.
b. Spread hinged body to provide access to guides.
c. Remove bolt and keeper from each side of guide ring.
d. With an overhead lift, raise the Spider body off the floor and block-up at
about 100mm.
e. Slide guide ring out of slot in house body.

 SE350 Casing Elevator/Spider Operation Manual

4.7.2 Installing Guides

a. Insert new guides into slot of house body and secure in
place with bolts and keeper.
b. Lift and close Elevator/Spider house body and insert hinge pin.
c. Operate slip segments to determine proper operation, as indicated in
Section 5.

5. Operation Instructions
5.1 Operation
The Elevator and Spider operation is controlled by a lever operated, control
valve located on the body of each unit. (Fig.6)
5.1.1 Moving the lever to the up position raises the slips.

5.1.2 Moving the lever to fully down position sets the slips.

If an air pressure failure should happen, the slip segments can be

operated manually, as follows：
a. Place a 5 foot pry bar into manual lift lever.
b. Push down on pry bar and move the control lever handle to the up position.
This moves the latch plate under the leveling beam to hold slips in the up
position.
c. To set slips (lower slips) push control lever handle down.
5.2 Attentions for operation

8 Goldenman Petroleum Equipment Co., Ltd

 SE350 Casing Elevator/Spider Operation Manual

5.2.1 Only operate the Elevator/Spider when pipe to handle

completely stops, or it will get stuck.
5.2.2 It is necessary to use backup casing tong during making-up or
breaking-out. As the Elevator/Spider do not have the function of anti-torque.
5.2.3 Remember to secure the spider with anchor chain and make spider
center identical with wellhead center.
5.2.4 Lowering speed should be very slow when casing coupling going through
Elevator/Spider inside.
5.2.5 Add fluid oil after every 50 joint casing run. If sticking of slips happens in
the house body, inject fluid oil between house body and slips. (Fluid oil may
bring away impurities.)

6. Lubrication
Lubricate after every 50 joint casing run and more frequently if necessary to
prevent slips from sticking in the Elevator or Spider Body. To lubricate properly
the slips should be in the set position without any casing load on unit.

possibly fail if exposed to certain solvents, strong alkaline

substances, or compressor oils containing aromatic
hydrocarbons (fire retardant oils). Fumes of these substances in contact with
the bowl can cause damage to the bowl.
DON’TS
1. Never paint over moving parts or grease fittings.
2. Avoid unnecessary impact load on slips.
3. Avoid contamination of air lines.
4. Never restrict air flow.
5. Avoid dry or over-oiled lubricator.
6. Never use equipment that is not opening properly.
7.2 Transportation and Storage
7.2.1 Crash is forbidden when in transportation of the elevator. It must be
prevented from rain.
7.2.2 The products must be stored in the dry and well-ventilated place and
prevented from in the sun or in the rain. It is forbidden to let the products
contact acids, alkalis, salts and some other corrosion substance.
