TITAN™ Tubing Elevator Description
The TEA035 TITAN™ Tubing Elevator hangs from the elevator links which are attached to
the traveling block of the service or drilling rig. The drawworks of the rig move the elevator

or around the rig floor for handling tubing.
Each elevator is bored for one size of tubing, 2-3/8 non-upset, 2-3/8 upset, 2-7/8 non-upset,
or 2-7/8 upset. The size is stamped 238N, 238U, 278N, or 278U on the right body indicating
the appropriate size.
The elevator has a rated capacity of 35 tons for heavy duty use. It can be lifted by elevator
links with diameters as large as 1-3/4 inches.

An integrated center latch mechanism consisting of a retainer, lock, retainer spring,
and lock spring to provide simple, fast, and smooth operation.
