XD-1250 Rotary Slip: Raising the Standard for High-Capacity Rotary Slips

XD-1250 SYSTEM IN SLD FULL ASSEMBLY

For years, 1,000-ton rotary slip systems have represented the industry’s highest-rated API rotary slips, providing dependability for demanding drilling applications. While these systems continue to provide dependable performance, some operations require additional capacity without sacrificing compatibility with existing equipment.

Ramey Martin Energy Tools is proud to introduce the XD-1250 Rotary Slip System, a complete handling solution engineered to deliver a 1,250-ton rated capacity.

Rather than simply increasing the load rating of a single component, the XD-1250 was designed as a fully integrated system where the slip, bowl, and bushing work together to achieve higher performance.

A Complete Engineered System

The XD-1250 consists of three primary components engineered to function together:

XD-1250 Rotary Slip XD-1250 Insert Bowl XD-1250 Master Bushing
XD-1250 Rotary Slip XD-1250 Insert Bowl XD-1250 Master Bushing

Each component plays an important role in supporting the overall system capacity. Together, they provide the strength required to achieve the XD-1250’s full 1,250-ton rating.

Rather than relying on a single upgraded component, the complete assembly was designed to perform as one integrated system under high working loads.

Compatible with Existing 1,000-Ton Configurations

While the XD-1250 was developed to exceed the traditional 1,000-ton benchmark, flexibility remained an important design consideration.

The XD-1250 slip components are compatible with other existing 1,000-ton configurations, allowing customers to replace or integrate components into compatible equipment when required. This compatibility gives operators another qualified source for replacement components while helping reduce the challenges of relying on a single equipment supplier.

Compatible accessories already in service, such as the Ramey Martin Air Operated Slip Lifting Device (SLD), can continue to be used, helping minimize changes to the overall handling system.

When the XD-1250 slip is used with a standard 1,000-ton bowl and bushing, the assembly maintains a 1,000-ton rating.

To achieve the full 1,250-ton capacity, the complete Ramey Martin XD-1250 Slip, Bowl, and Bushing must be used together.

Understanding the Rated Capacity

The load rating of a rotary slip assembly is determined by the complete system, not the slip alone.

For that reason, the XD-1250 offers two rated configurations.

Configuration Rated Capacity
XD-1250 Slip + RMET Bowl + RMET Bushing 1,250 Tons
XD-1250 Slip with corresponding 1,000-Ton Bowl & Bushing 1,000 Tons
Mixed Brand Components 1,000 Tons

This gives customers the flexibility to use XD-1250 slip components in compatible 1,000-ton systems while providing a clear upgrade path to a fully integrated 1,250-ton handling system.
