Established 1980 - hydraulic drilling machinery worldwide
SafeLatch™ Torque Arms
SafeLatch torque arms quickly latch and unlatch from wire ropes. Double latches and double locks.
No tools, lost parts, or falling objects.
Pulling the handles unlocks and unlatches allowing the assembly to swing open.
Just open SafeLatch, swing onto the wire rope, and latch closed. Takes a few seconds.
Production will start soon and will be standard with the XK-100 and XK-150. We're fighting supply chain issues with aluminum alloy castings.
After production begins, you may order separately to update your existing XK swivels.
Hardened and plated steel sheaves with oil-less bronze bushings require no lubrication and are now available from stock. Direct replacement for original plastic sheaves.
ScopeDown™ Torque Track
Works with any telescoping doubles mast, rig floors to 40' high.
Telescoping track scopes up and down with mast. No rig-down required.
Track lays down with mast for travel. No rig-down required.
Swivel may be repositioned toward front or driller side V-door location. No rig-down required.
Track fits both XK-100 and XK-150 swivels. To change swivel, no rig-down required.
Torque reacts into carrier structure thru Mantis Reactor™. Zero torque into mast. Rated for 12,000 ft-lbs.
Engineered to API-8C & API-Q1, safety factor 3:1 min.
Swivel being transported to the rig floor.
Super Handler™
The Super Handler™ is a unique pipe handler which includes the XK-100 or XK-150 power swivel !
Our customers say this will be a game changer!
Designed to greatly increase safety, save time, and cut costs!

ZK Hydraulic Top Drives
Top drives are big power swivels for the drilling industry. But top drives also include many automated drilling and pipe handling functions plus a torque track to react the torque.
Our hydraulic top drives are a logical development of our decades of hydraulic power swivel experience.
Our designs are about simplicity.
XK Power Swivels
Power swivels are drilling machines for the well servicing industry. They include at least 3 functions:
- Rotation of the pipe
- Support the hanging pipe
- High pressure sealing to conduct the mud pump flow down through the rotating main shaft and drill pipe.
Other features and options include: Swivel Tilt, Torque Track, SafeLatch Torque Arms, 10,000 psi Washpipe Seal Assy, Brake, and Breakout Unit.
