Varco Systems 750 Ton AC Top Drive TDS-8SA 750 Ton AC Top Drive

The TDS-8SA Top Drive is the AC motor version of the world’s number one top drive — the TDS-4S — developed for use in deep drilling applications. It generates 1150 HP with a hoisting capacity of up to 750 tons and a continuous drilling torque rating of 63,000 ft. lbs. The 8SA has a maximum speed of 270 RPM and intermittent torque of 94,000 ft. lbs. Because of the broad speed and torque range of AC motor technology, this impressive performance is obtained using a single-speed gear box. The TDS-8SA Top Drive is driven by a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control system for a greater range of torque and speed performance. System components include an integrated swivel, link tilt system, remote and manual blowout preventer valves, pipe handler for breaking out connections, and a guide dolly for reacting drilling torque.

The TDS-10SA Top Drive is a single motor top drive developed for use in a variety of land and workover rig applications. It generates 350 HP with a hoisting capacity of 250 tons and a continuous drilling torque rating of 20,000 ft. lbs. The 10SA has a maximum speed of 182 RPM and makeup/break-out torque of 36,500 ft. lbs. Because of the broad speed and torque range of AC motor technology, this impressive performance is obtained using a single-speed gear box. The TDS-10SA Top Drive system is driven by a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control system for a greater range of torque and speed performance. System components include an integrated swivel, bi-directional link tilt system, remote and manual blowout preventer valves, back-up clamp for breaking out connections, guide tube for reacting drilling torque and an electric service loop. A compact integral power unit mounted on the top drive eliminates the need for hydraulic service loops. And the short overall height and rapid-installation guide beam design of the 10SA ensure easy installation in existing masts or derricks.


The TDS-10SA is available for purchase, lease or rental.

The TDS-11SA Top Drive is an AC-motor-powered top drive developed for use as a portable or permanent unit on a wide variety of land and offshore applications. Its compact size also allows for installation on small workover and portable rigs. The 11SA generates 800 HP with a hoisting capacity of 500 tons and a continuous drilling torque rating of 37,500 ft. lbs. The 11SA has a maximum speed of 228 RPM and make-up/ breakout torque of 55,000 ft. lbs. Speed can be maintained from 114 RPM to 228 RPM without downgrading the 800 HP rating of the motors.


The TDS-11SA Top Drive system is driven by a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control system for a greater range of torque and speed performance. System components include an integrated swivel, bi-directional link tilt system, remote and manual blowout preventer valves, back-up clamp for breaking out connections, a guide beam for reacting drilling torque, and an electric service loop. A compact integral power unit mounted on the top drive eliminates the need for hydraulic service loops. And the short overall height and rapid-installation guide beam design of the 11SA ensure easy installation in existing masts or derricks. The TDS-11SA interface points have recently been redesigned with the goal to make the installation the fastest in the industry.

Varco Systems 1000 Ton AC Top Drive TDS-1000 1000 Ton AC Top Drive

The TDS-1000 Top Drive is Varco’s newest Top Drive model and will become the flagship of our fleet. Developed for use in deep drilling applications, it generates 1150 HP with a hoisting capacity of 1000 ton. Continuous drilling torque output is 63,000 ftlbs, with a maximum speed of 270 RPM. The TDS1000 provides intermittent torque output of 94,000 ft-lbs to make and break even the highest torque connections. Because of the broad speed and torque range provided by the AC motor, this impressive performance is obtained using a single-speed gear box. The TDS-1000 Top Drive is driven by a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control system for a greater range of torque and speed performance. System components include an integrated swivel, link tilt system, remote and manual blowout preventer valves, a back-up type Pipehandler for making and breaking connections (including upper and lower IBOP connections) and a guide dolly for reacting drilling torque.
