Drawworks
Gear driven drawworks are now the industry standard when it comes to oil & gas drilling
rigs. The major reasons are improved safety, optimal performance & control, significant
weight & size reduction, and considerably increased reliability. Combining the different
performance characteristics of a dynamic emergency brake, a regenerative brake via the
drive motors, with an intelligent automated Drawworks Control package provides a higher
standard.
When it comes to Gear Driven drawworks, nobody does it better than ALTA Rig Drawworks. ALTA Rig
drawworks were pioneers in this field and continue to be the industry standard. Since 2005,
we have produced over 350+ gear driven drawworks for various drilling contractors world wide.
