HWD has completed the all new oversize single "Gator 1000". The Gator 1000 has been in design and development over the last 18 months. President of HWD - Steve Akerman wanted to bring another new dimension to the oil/gas drilling industry, so he developed a rig that is suitable for 90% of the drilling nationwide. The Gator 1000 was designed to be very powerful, easily portable, and fast setup. It has a Venturetech XK250 ton top head drive powered by a 500hp C15 Cat. The derrick is telescoping and has a clear working height of 80'. The rig is 95% self automated, meaning less roughneck assistance. The unit has its own hydraulic pipe handler and iron roughneck.
