The Universe Hydraulic Backup Unit is designed to attach to a Power Tong. It will bite either tubing or casing preventing the tubular from rotating while the Tong unscrews or screws together the threaded joint. The unit has many unique features and is considered one of the best backups in the industry and can be mounted under other Universe as well as other Power Tong manufacturer’s.
