Question 2853 Deck General

The correct answer is D) elevators. Elevators are the set of clamps that are latched onto the drill pipe to allow the driller to raise or lower the drill string out of or into the hole. This is a key piece of equipment used in drilling operations to manipulate the drill string. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) Lifts refer to mechanical devices used to raise or lower objects, but do not specifically refer to the clamps used for the drill pipe. B) Clamps is a generic term that does not specify the particular type of clamps used for the drill pipe. C) Collars are threaded connections used to join sections of drill pipe, but are not the devices used to grip and manipulate the drill string.
