Lock-Lift is the patented PVC well liner lifting tool that sets and retrieves splined casing safely, accurately, and without a drilling rig overhead. Fast. Reliable. Proven.
Lock-Lift is designed to set splined PVC well casing in the well after the string has been assembled and is hanging from the top of the well. It is fast, easy, and trouble free to use.
The tool prevents the possibility of losing control of the PVC while setting it in place. When a tape measure is used as the release line, it also gives an accurate indication of the depth to which the Lock-Lift and the string of PVC casing are set.
Lock-Lift also allows easy retrieval of the PVC casing from the well when necessary — fast, and without the need to have a drilling rig over the well. Sand locks become unnecessary.
Hook the Lock-Lift to a winch line (rotation-resistant recommended) and connect the release line — a fiberglass measuring tape works perfectly, giving depth readout as you go.
Insert the Lock-Lift into the bell end of the splined PVC well casing already hanging at the top of the well. The segmented disk locks into the casing groove automatically.
Lift to remove any external clamp, then lower the Lock-Lift and PVC string to the bottom of the well under full control. No outward pressure is placed on the PVC — no splitting risk.
Pull the release line to retract the segmented disk to a smaller diameter. The Lock-Lift releases cleanly from the casing bell and is retrieved from the well — job done.
The only force applied to the PVC casing is straight up. The Lock-Lift will not cause splitting — protecting your customer's investment on every job.
Retrieve PVC casing without a drilling rig on site. Works from a winch line, dramatically reducing cost and time for retrieval operations.
The positive lock-and-release mechanism makes traditional sand locks unnecessary, simplifying well installations and reducing component count.
Use a fiberglass measuring tape as the release line and get a precise depth measurement as the casing is set — a built-in benefit at no extra cost.
Lock-Lift can also be used on solvent weld PVC casing by inserting through the top piece and lifting from the bell of the second — versatile across casing types.
Designed by a driller for drillers, Lock-Lift streamlines casing installation so crews spend less time on setup and more time on the next job.
The Lock-Lift design is a patented invention by Paul Janke — giving distributors and their contractor customers confidence they're carrying a proven, protected, and exclusive product unavailable anywhere else.
