Lifting Bails / Hoist Plugs
Lifting bails, also known as hoist plugs, are a critical component in any drilling operation, providing a secure and reliable connection for lifting and handling drill pipe and other downhole tools. Mincon's range of lifting bails is designed with safety and efficiency in mind, ensuring a strong link between your drill string and lifting equipment
Whether you require the robust simplicity of a static plug or the enhanced maneuverability of a swivel design, Mincon's lifting bails are engineered to deliver a safe, secure, and efficient connection for your entire drilling system.
The Driller's Choice
Mincon offers lifting bails crafted from a single, solid piece of high-grade steel, for drill pipe and heavy drill tooling, or aluminum for lifting and maneuvering drill bits. These lifting solutions are available in two primary configurations to meet different operational needs:
Static Plugs for vertical lifting applications.
Swivel Plugs For added flexibility and ease of handling.
Mincon's designs guarantee maximum strength and durability under load.

Lifting Bail (Box)
Designed for the rigorous demands of mining applications, Mincon's Static Lifting Bails provide a safe and reliable way to handle drill pipe and other heavy tooling. This robust, fixed-body design ensures a direct, non-swiveling connection to the hoist line, giving drillers maximum control and stability when lifting and lowering drill string components. Forging strength and simplicity, these hoist plugs are built from a single piece of high-strength 4140 steel to withstand the conditions of any mine site, making them an essential tool for secure and efficient operations.
Swivel Lifting Bail (Box)
For enhanced flexibility and efficiency on the rig, Mincon's Swivel Lifting Bails are the ideal choice for drillers. By allowing the drill pipe to rotate independently of the hoist line, the swivel feature prevents tangling, and makes the process of threading and unthreading a breeze. This enhanced maneuverability not only improves safety and efficiency on the rig but also minimizes wear on threads, extending the life of your tooling. With a heavy-duty design built to Mincon's exacting standards, these swivel bails are the ultimate solution for smooth, fast, and safe pipe handling.
