Drawworks You Can Count On
Highdrilling drawworks have been field-tested for many years on all of our land rigs, desert rigs, and ruck-mounted rigs. Based on valuable customer feedback we have been able to improve the quality of our hoisting systems beyond API requirements.Strong Brakes
The performance and safety of any drawworks crucially depends on the quality of its brakes. This is why the braking system of Highdrilling drawworks is composed of the following:
- Main brake: High quality hydraulic disk brake
- Auxiliary brake: Powerful eddy current brake, such as the Eaton Airflex [link]
In addition, both the brake drum and disk undergo medium-frequency induction hardening for increased strength and an extended service life.
Design Advantages
- Manufactured strictly to API Spec 7K.
- Reinforced chains, lubricated by forced lubrication for dependable service.
- Full roller bearing design reduces wear.
- Shafts made from hardened steel alloy for added strength.
- Medium frequency induction hardened sprockets for maximum durability.
