Top Drives

Our new generation of top drives uses a combination of old and new designs to provide the next step in drilling technology and environmental awareness.

We use conventional motor magnetic design in our own housing to ensure ready availability while minimizing the thermal / high current density issues. This design coupled with a thru the center mud path provides a very compact energy package.

This compact energy package is coupled to a proven planetary gear design for very high efficiency and reliability.

The package is mounted in the main housing with a unique bail arrangement that ensures that the center of gravity is below the bail pivot point. This ensures that the top drive always hangs vertically without any undue stress on the dollies or track system.

Our thread compensation system picks up the string, not the top drive. That means no hydraulics up the service loop or on board HPU.

TSC offers two models for your onshore and offshore applications: 750 ton and 500 ton. Contact TSC for details for our top drive offering.
