Top drives provide torque by moving
clockwise to drill boreholes for oil or natural gas drilling. Their
mechanical drive is an alternative to rotary table drives, and they work
to move a derrick vertically. Henderson Rigs offers a great selection of top drives for sale,
including used electric or hydraulic top drives that can be fitted to
most drilling rigs. When choosing a top drive, make sure that it will
increase rig safety and performance, and go for highly rated equipment
like the TDS 11. Henderson Rigs & Equipment carries the TDS 11 top
drive, which is developed specifically for permanent and portable
drilling rigs. It is essential for this type of equipment to be able to
withstand being suspended from the rig’s derrick, and to swivel
powerfully to generate at least 1,000 horsepower to turn the shaft.
The TDS-11 top drive is considered as
one of the most efficient top drives preferred by leaders of the
drilling industry for its reliable performance. It comes with a
7,500-psi wash pipe assembly and features like two forced air cooled
400HP AC drilling motors (totaling to 800HP), a quiet gear drive, 10.5:1
double reduction, powered rotating head, hydraulic disc brakes, a
counterbalance with stand jump, and a bail. Its on-board pipe handler
comes with a 500-ton rated solid body elevator (link adapter assembly), a
remotely operated dual crank upper body IBOP safety valve, lower
gripping jaw (for torque backup), hydraulic link tilt assembly, and a
manual 15000 psi lower IBOP safety valve.
Henderson Rigs & Equipment provides
an NC50 too joint for the pipe handler of the TDS-11 top drive. If you
need other tool joints, feel free to discuss your needs with Henderson
Rigs & Equipment so they can provide a quote. The PH-75 is one of
the recommended tools for mechanized break-out of upper and lower IBOP
valves and the heavy-duty rotating head motor to ensure consistent
operation. It works with tool joints with an OD of 8.5 inches.
