As drill pipe straightening machine manufacturers, we designed this equipment around the way OCTG yards actually work. The video shows long drill pipe moved by powered conveyors and lift arms onto the straightening bed, measured while rotating, corrected at the identified high points, then discharged for the next inspection stage — a workflow engineered around heavy, long, high-value tubulars.
The gantry frame is built in 1000-ton class ratings for the thickest drill collar and pipe sections, covering diameters within Ø5–600 mm and lengths to 12 m. With 5+ measurement points along the bed and 5–8 probes on extended frames, the machine delivers repeatable straightness in 20–90 seconds per joint under the supervision of a single operator.
Customers include oilfield service contractors, tubular goods distributors and rental fleets that need straightened, traceable pipe for drilling and well-servicing operations, where a bent joint causes vibration, premature tool wear and rejected inspections. The video walks through the complete yard sequence — staging rack, powered in-feed, rotating measurement, correction and discharge — so buyers can judge how the machine fits alongside existing inspection and threading stations.
