Sucker Rods

Precision built. Tracked to the foundry.

Liberty Lift sucker rods, couplings and rod guides are engineered to perform in the demanding conditions that define a well: deep loads, corrosive fluids and more.

The right rod for every well condition

Liberty Lift sucker rods and couplings are a key complement to our extensive line of reciprocating rod lift solutions. By manufacturing Liberty Lift specifications and tracking every piece through inspections, we guarantee the premium quality our customers have come to rely on. The result is a sucker rod that is durable, dependable, and capable of withstanding your well’s uniquely harsh conditions.

Our product line includes three sucker rod grades and two guide styles, each engineered for a specific operational need. Whether the application is medium-load corrosive service, heavy-load deep wells or high-flow conditions that punish standard equipment, Liberty Lift has the right rod string solution.

LL DS KD Sucker Rod

The Liberty Lift DS KD (API D Special Alloy) quenched and tempered sucker rod is engineered for medium to heavily loaded, effectively inhibited corrosive wells where added impact resistance and toughness are critical. Manufactured from AISI 3130M nickel-chromium-molybdenum SBQ steel, the DS KD delivers exceptional strength and impact resistance in demanding applications.

Rods are heated above their critical temperature and quenched to achieve a uniform martensitic grain structure, then tempered to enhance toughness and develop the desired mechanical properties. Quenched and tempered (Q&T) rods are shot-peened to further enhance fatigue resistance. Liberty Lift DS KD rods are engineered to exceed API standards for the D “Special” Sucker Rod.

LL HA SUCKER ROD

The Liberty Lift HA (API HA High Strength Alloy) normalized and tempered sucker rod is engineered for heavily loaded, effectively inhibited wells that exceed the capabilities of API grade D applications. Manufactured from AISI 4138MX chromium-molybdenum micro-alloyed SBQ steel, the HA delivers exceptional strength for the most demanding deep-well environments.

Rods are normalized to relieve residual stress and create a uniform grain structure, then tempered to develop the desired mechanical properties. Normalized and tempered (N&T) rods are shot-peened to enhance fatigue resistance. Liberty Lift HA rods are designed to exceed API standards for HA high strength alloy sucker rods.

LL DS SUCKER ROD

The Liberty Lift DS (API D Special Alloy) normalized and tempered sucker rod is designed for medium to heavily loaded, effectively inhibited corrosive wells. Manufactured from AISI 4720SR nickel-chromium-molybdenum micro-alloyed SBQ (Special Bar Quality) steel and subjected to a tailored heat treatment, the DS stands out as one of our most corrosion-tolerant options.

After forging, rods are normalized to relieve residual stress and create a uniform grain structure, then tempered to establish the desired mechanical properties. Normalized and tempered (N&T) rods are shot-peened to enhance fatigue resistance. Liberty Lift DS rods are engineered to exceed API standards for the D “Special” Sucker Rod.

Quality you can trace

Every Liberty Lift sucker rod is built and verified through the same disciplined process, from raw material selection to final inspection. Our quality team oversees every stage of manufacturing and performs tensile testing on two samples from each heat treatment batch to ensure mechanical properties meet specifications. 

Our Process

Rod guides built to extend run life

Liberty Lift rod guides use advanced geometries and high-performance polymers to handle high flow rates, corrosive fluids, elevated temperatures, solids and deviated well paths. Two distinct guide styles are available, each engineered for a specific operational need.

HFLT Rod Guide

The HFLT rod guide is built for high-flow or high-corrosion wells while staying versatile across most applications. Its long, narrow, tapered vanes limit flow disruption through the production, reducing turbulence and flow-induced corrosion. Inhibitors stay on the rod body longer, improving protection and extending run life.

RAPTR Rod Guide

The RAPTR rod guide features broad, curved vanes with enhanced EWV (erodible wear volume), providing a larger bearing surface. The vane design allows smoother rotation when paired with a rod rotator, resulting in more uniform wear and longer service life. A longer, gradual taper to the rod body also reduces corrosion at the leading edge.
