500/650 HCI 750

Top Drive

A versatile top drive for high

performance applications

T he HCI top drive system is

the most versatile top
drive in the Tesco product line.
Compact enough to fit into most double
and triple masts for land based applications
or offshore derricks, the HCI provides the
performance and pipe handling features required
for medium and deep drilling applications.
TESCO powers the HCI using industry proven
prime movers and its own series of hydraulic
pump drives and filtration equipment.
The HCI top drive is available with an optional
integrated swivel or can use the customers
swivel. Casing load ratings of 500 or 650 tons are
available.
Performance (torque and speed) can be
customized using optional gear ratios and power
unit selection.

Value Added Operational Benefits:

The complete system including the top drive,

torque system and power unit can be installed
in less than one day. In most cases, no rig
modifications are necessary.
The HCI offers an expanded suite of
pipe-handling functions including elevator
link-tilt, and extend/retract feature for making
mousehole connections (maximum extension
60 in.), 360 pipe-handler rotation, and
grabber.

The HCI grabber acts as a back-up tong for

making or breaking connections and will
accommodate tool joints from 3 in. to 8-3/4
inch outer diameter.
