TWO PATENTED SYSTEMS
Two market-leading systems, built for safety and efficiency.
Hinge-Lok® and the Integral Sling System® (ISS). Patented, certified and deployed globally.
01 — HINGE-LOK®
The safer, simpler and more sustainable way to handle tubulars from yard to rig.
A patented aluminium all-in-one system for tubulars from 2⅜″ to 14″ outside diameter. Bespoke sizes available up to 24″.
Market-leading since 2018 and in service worldwide. Hinge-Lok® is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing yard, transport and offshore procedures, with no new tools or additional crew required.
Manufactured entirely from recycled AW6082 T6 aluminium, Hinge-Lok® is the industry's only fully extruded, non-welded casing transport system. With no welded joints to fatigue or fail, the frame delivers a lighter, stronger and more durable alternative to conventional steel bundling systems. The system is designed to fit a range of tubular sizes, minimising equipment variation and lowering logistics costs.
Secured using just four captive Nord-Lock® fasteners, Hinge-Lok® is designed for rapid assembly, safer handling and reduced operational complexity. Every component weighs under 15 kg, allowing safe single-person handling on the rig or in the yard without specialist contractors or additional lifting equipment.
Designed to NORSOK standards and manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management systems, Hinge-Lok® provides a safer, simpler and more operationally efficient approach to OCTG and casing transportation.
SIX KEY BENEFITS
Safer
Up to 80% reduction in crane lifts
Only 4 captive Nord-Lock® nuts, sub-15 kg components and fewer, secured lifts.
Greener
95% carbon footprint reduction
Recycled AW6082 T6 aluminium, 95% recyclable and 95% lower manufacturing energy requirement.
Faster
50% less time and handling
Customers report improved loading efficiency and reduced handling.
Stackable
50% less space
Secure system stacking cuts deck and storage needs. Fits standard CCUs for efficient returns.
Cheaper
50% reduced cost per lift
Cost-per-lift reduction compared with conventional bundling.
Proven
DNV, NORSOK, ISO
Tested beyond DNV requirements; ISO 9001 & NORSOK; in service worldwide since 2018.
02 – INTEGRAL SLING SYSTEM®
The world’s only patented system to handle tubulars using Dyneema® slings.
The superior way to handle chrome, CRA and other high-value pipe, preventing metal-to-metal contact.
It's an industry first, and it's protected. Enelift holds the patent for the Integral Sling System® (ISS), making us the only provider permitted to combine Dyneema® slings, or any HMPE/UHMWPE sling, with a tubular cradle.
ISS lifts tubulars directly on Dyneema® slings, eliminating the shackles, wire-rope slings and master links that would otherwise touch the pipe. With no metal-to-metal contact, it's the safest way to handle chrome, CRA and other high-value pipe.
It's built on Enelift's proven, fully extruded, non-welded aluminium frame, the same technology as Hinge-Lok®. Fewer components mean quicker assembly and a cleaner inspection regime, and the 8-tonne safe working load is independently tested in excess of DNV requirements.
The Dyneema® slings are lightweight yet immensely strong, and resistant to UV, abrasion, fatigue, cut and chemicals. Made from bio-based Dyneema®, they keep the system's carbon footprint among the lowest in the industry.
When to specify ISS
Chrome, CRA and screen-liner tubulars, where ferrous contact would damage the asset.
High-value pipe where surface integrity and handling are critical.
Crews who prefer Dyneema® slings to wire rope and shackles.
Three key features
The world's only patented solution of its kind.
Zero metal contact
The only system patented to lift tubulars using Dyneema® — or any HMPE/UHMWPE — slings.
World-first & patented
The only system patented to lift tubulars using Dyneema® — or any HMPE/UHMWPE — slings.
Fewer components
Lower part count than conventional systems: quicker assembly, cleaner inspection.
03 — THE SYSTEM IN 3D
Key components, rendered.
The Hinge-Lok® and Integral Sling System® components weigh less than 15kg. Making it safe and simple to handle by existing crews.
