Boart Longyear announced the launch of an upgraded Surface Roller Latch Wireline System. Extending the successful Roller Latch family of wireline tooling, Boart Longyear focused on safety, reliability, and productivity. Since its original release, Roller Latch technology has been adopted by the industry's drilling contractors.

The newest release of the system improves usability, serviceability, and overall performance. Boart Longyear has introduced several system improvements. These new features include a new housing that reduces typical drop times by 20% and, up to 60% when paired with W-Wall drill rod.

In addition, a new 360o swivel joint enables easier handling, and a new release system eliminates the jar staff. The system improvements continue with a redesigned head, improving core recovery times. This is a surface wireline solution that incorporates dozens of refinements that eliminate spearheads and lifting dogs completely.
