    Automated Sidedoor Elevator


    The Weatherford hydraulically operated automated sidedoor (ASD) elevator
    quickly picks up large-OD casing and enables safe makeup of connections at
    a low height. The ASD elevator has several key features that enhance safety
    and operational efficiency in deepwater environments.

    Applications
    Used with the required bails, the ASD elevator picks up casing and
    handles loads of various sizes:
    • 9 5/8- to 16-in. casing, 500-ton (453,592-kg) load rating
    • 18 5/8- to 24-in. casing, 500-ton (453,592-kg) load rating
    • 26- to 36-in. casing, 350-ton (317,515-kg) load rating

    Features, Advantages, and Benefits


    • The low-profile design reduces the connection height to eliminate scaffolding
    and the associated risks to personnel safety.
    • The reduced height provides the driller a better view when stabbing joints at
    the rotary, which enhances safety and efficiency.
    • Specially designed elevator ears enable the ASD elevator to fit and rotate
    easily when latching to casing in the horizontal position. This reduces cycle
    time and enhances rig-floor safety.
    • Plug-and-play compatibility with the elevator-control-system interface enables
    remote hydraulic actuation, which improves cycle and run times.
    • Remote operation and consistent positive latching enhance rig-floor safety
    and efficiency.
    • The square shoulder design follows API‑recommended tolerances,
    which enhances compatibility with standard casing connectors and some
    beveled connectors.
    • The robust double-door and latch design provides 360° contact the casing
    connector without spreading the elevator body.
    • Compatibility with the Weatherford integrated safety interlock system prevents
    simultaneous opening of the elevator and spider and the consequent risk of
    dropping a string.
    • The ASD design enables fast rig up and minimal maintenance for greater
    time savings.
    • The ASD complements the Weatherford Stabberless® remotely controlled
    pipe-alignment system to create a more efficient automated latching and
    stabbing process.
