THE NEXT GENERATION OF
TOP DRIVE SYSTEMS
As one of the world’s leading suppliers of top drive systems in the
oil and gas industry, Canrig strives to set the standard for safety,
reliability and efficiency. These attributes are evident in our new one
thousand ton top drive.

Canrig’s engineers set out to create a top drive with two core design
criteria. The goal was to garner 30-percent more performance than
the competition and to significantly reduce downtime through
component redundancy, quick change capability and over design of
critical components. The result is a next generation top drive with the
highest torque and speed performance in the industry.

INCREASED RELIABILITY

• Robust Design

• Redundant Systems

• (2) water cooled traction motors

• Dual Lubrication Systems

DOWN TIME

• Modular design: motors, gearbox, pipe handler, back-up wrench and well control valves

• Quick replacement of modules for maintenance or repairs

• Reconfigurable splined quill connection – can be changed to any size rotary connection

• Work platforms: safe and easy access to components

• Induction ring in pipe handler permits more sensors, reduces rotary passages

• Easily allows planned repairs and maintenance

PERFORMANCE

• Highest torque rating in its class

INCORPORATES UNIQUE FOLD-DOWN WORKING PLATFORMS WHICH:

• Are safer than using a manrider

• Give complete access to all components

• Protect top drive equipment for longer life

• Reduce the risk of dropped objects
