  • Patent number: 10431965
    Abstract: A hydraulic cable puller that includes a hub having an axially-extending annular winding spindle for receiving a plurality of wraps of a rope adapted to connect to a downstream end of a cable to be pulled and to exert a pulling force on the cable. A hydraulic motor is mounted on the hub for rotating the hub and includes an inlet port and outlet port for being attached to inlet and outlet hydraulic supply conduits of a vehicle. A mounting bracket is adapted to mount the hub and the hydraulic motor onto an end of a boom arm of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8028750
    Abstract: Force balancing adjusts hydraulic fluid pressure in an upper piston area of a Rotating Pressure Control Device (RPCD) that has an inner housing rotatably engaged within an outer housing by an upper bearing and a lower bearing. The hydraulic fluid pressure is adjusted to balance net force in a upper piston area and a lower piston area. The fluid pressure adjustment creates a force differential that balances the total load transmitted through the upper bearing and the lower bearing and thereby extends the life of the sealing element and bearings. Additionally, a wear indicator signals the end of the useful life of the drill pipe sealing element.

  • Patent number: 7380590
    Abstract: A Rotating Pressure Control Head (RPCH) with a rapid engagement mechanism is disclosed. The RPCH comprises an upper body and a lower body. The rapid engagement mechanism allows the upper body to be quickly disengaged from the lower body and replaced with a new upper body. The upper body comprises a sealing element and an inner housing that rotates with respect to an outer housing. The sealing element contains a plurality of internal cavities. The plurality of cavities control the constriction of the sealing element around the drill pipe.
