Cotta Tech Talk – Top Mast Gearboxes

Top Mast Gearboxes: Did you know?

Cotta LLC has been designing and manufacturing custom design gearboxes for over fifty years.  Cotta works with each of our customers to understand their specific needs and then designs the best possible product to overcome the challenges that the application presents.

One example of a custom gearbox is our top mast gearbox.  This style gearbox is sold into many different markets.  The primary markets that use this gearbox are mining and water well.  The gearbox is used specifically for drilling applications.  Cotta and our drilling customers have worked together to provide a solution that meets their unique requirements for pushing down or pulling up on the drill.  The greater down force gives the user the ability to drill holes faster thus increasing their productivity.

Over the last 30 years Cotta’s custom top mast drive has proven to be a durable and reliable product.  We have thousands of top mast gearboxes being used by end users throughout the world.  Our gearboxes can be found in drilling equipment throughout the United States, South America, Europe, Russia and Australia.  Whether you need one or one hundred gearboxes Cotta has the technology to produce a custom gearbox for your specific application.
