Drawworks. Solid Performance in Conventional or AC Gear-Driven Models

Like every piece of drilling equipment LeTourneau Technologies™ Drilling Systems manufactures, our drawworks are engineered for unmatched reliability, high performance, and cost efficiency.

Whether the job calls for conventional chain-driven drawworks, or our advanced AC gear-driven model, you'll find the features, safety assurance, and low maintenance you expect from LTI. And LTI offers the highest hook load you'll find -- a 9000 hp input rating, and static load capacity of 2.5 million pounds.

Conventional Chain-Driven Drawworks

LTI offers 3 models (see chart below); the LDW3000 (3000 input hp), the LDW3000 Heavy-Duty (3000 input hp), and the LDW4500 (4500 input hp). Hoisting power is provided by a two- or three-motor drive system, which can either be variable-frequency AC or SCR-controlled DC.

Plus, LTI chain-driven drawworks are equipped with a robust disc braking system featuring hydraulically applied service brake calipers as well as spring-actuated emergency / parking brake calipers for fail-safe operation. This braking system offers superior performance versus conventional band brakes.

All LTI chain-driven drawworks come mounted on oilfield-type skids with provisions for crane lifting and easy tailboard loading onto transport trucks or rig structures.

AC Gear-Driven Drawworks

With 90% fewer parts than conventional chain-driven drawworks, LTI AC Gear-Driven Drawworks represents the leading edge of technology. These advanced machines offer new standards of drilling performance, safety, and reliability, combining cost and operational efficiency with a smaller footprint, less weight, reduced noise, and smoother operation.

Offered in a choice of 550K, 750K, 1,000K, 1,500K, and 2,000K hook load models (see chart below), these advanced systems feature a LTI-engineered triple braking system for increased safety, including a park and emergency brake, auxiliary brake, and regenerative system.

Higher operational speeds are achieved in all models through the exclusive use of Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) AC motors.

With fewer utilities required for installation and fewer spare parts, the LTI AC Gear-Driven Drawworks is a solid choice for enhanced performance, safety, and unmatched reliability.
