Hydraulic Drives

Hydraulic drives are not connected directly to the energy source. Energy is provided to the drive via fluid power. This action is accomplished by having the prime mover located on a skid, which is coupled to a hydraulic pump. This fluid energy from the pump is supplied to a hydraulic motor located at the drive. Hydraulically driven drives are available in two models: HTD and Inline.

The Hydraulic Top Drive (HTD) has belts and sheaves to connect to the hydraulic motor; whereas the Inline HTD has the hydraulic motor built into its housing; thus, eliminating the belts and sheaves.

HTD and Inline HTD key features and benefits

  • Environmental containment skid
  • Adaptable to alternate fuel/energy sources
  • Integrated variable speed and simple backspin control
  • Large selection of speed and torque combinations

Additional inline HTD key features and benefits

  • More compact than the conventional hydraulic drive
  • Minimal external moving parts
  • Quieter operation is ideal for noise-sensitive areas
