Produced in the U.S.A.

German high-tech equipment

German high-tech drilling equipment is being produced � now right here in the U.S.A.

Dual Brake System

Redundant main disc brake system

The two independent disc brake systems provide each full braking capacity to park the drawworks under normal (static) conditions or stop the drawworks under emergency stop conditions. You will find more information about DBS in the PDF-Dokument.
 

Wireline Protection System

Against the bird's nest effect

Emergency braking systems on drawworks will immediately activate the disk brake resulting in an immediate transfer of load from the drives to the disc brake. These stops will most likely result in slack wireline and thus possible nesting around the drawworks drum or sheave jumping at the crown.
