Square Shoulder Center Latch Elevator (SSC Type)
100 and 150 ton SSC Elevators are distinguished by their innovative design, engineering excellence and metallurgical quality. These elevators are characterized by features which improve crew efficiency and reduce fatigue.
Pipe can be stabbed straight into the SSC elevator. Varco's narrow profile latch design provides a wide, clear opening without obstruction, allowing crews to work more quickly.
Lifting and closing the elevator requires a fraction of the force needed to lift the close other elevators, because the SSC is so well balanced.
An oversized hinge pin provides maximum distribution of load to minimize wear. All elevators are fully API rated. To assure individual quality, each elevator is pull-tested to 1 1/2 times rated load and then magnetic particle inspected before shipment.
The SSC elevator is available in three frame sizes and can handle tubular goods ranging in size from 2 3/8 thru 8 5/8 inches.

A range of models are available to handle drill collar sizes from 6 3/4 thru 11 1/4 inches OD and casing sizes from 6 5/8 to 20 1/2 inches OD.
Elevators hang at less of an angle than other elevators. This means that they require far less effort to lift and close, reducing crew fatigue and improving performance. Drill Collar or casing can be stabbed directly into Varco elevators and the tool's narrow profile latch design provides a wide, clear opening, without obstruction.
All elevators are fully API Rated and meet Varco's tough standards for quality, and rugged dependability.
