WIRELINE LOGGING TRUCK- Drum assembly to be of all steel noncast construction with a capacity of 15,000
feet 5/16 inch wireline. A large diameter drum shaft with pillow block design bearings each end will be incorporated. A single
conductor collector ring will be installed at the end of the drum shaft. Drum assembly will be on raised supports bolted to
the truck frame.
- Brake assembly will be of dual wide band design
offering good stopping, holding, and heat dissipation characteristics. A mechanical brake lever will be installed convenient
to the operator. NOTE: Air braking system is available at additional
cost, if desired.
- Drive assembly will be by a chain and sprocket design with a tensioning system. A Funk three speed transmission
will be installed for wider more varied selection of drum speed in
conjunction with a planetary transmission. Hydraulic motor will drive the transmissions.
- Power drive assembly will be by a side
mounted power take off installed at the truck transmission The power take off will be air shifted by a control in the driver’s
cab. The power take off will drive the hydraulic pump.

A rugged duty variable displacement pump and fixed displacement motor will be installed. Control, speed and pull, will be
by a mechanical joystick control lever. A remote relief valve will be installed as well as a safety dump valve. Dual safety
type pressure gauges will be installed, one for monitoring the system charge pressure and one for monitoring the system working
pressure.Hydraulic fluid will be supplied from a large capacity reservoir
with breather, strainer filler cap and a sight level, temperature gauge to help maintain the integrity of the fluid. A high
capacity oil cooler will be installed at the truck radiator to aid the reservoir in cooling of the fluid. A fine screen filtration
system, with bypass feature, will allow the job to be completed before a filter change can be accomplished. The system will
not shutdown leaving you stranded with the tool in the well,

large diameter register wheel and dual idler wheels installed. The register wheel housing is removable to aid in loading the
wireline into the meter with the rope socket installed. A mechanical depth counter will be installed at the operator’s
console area. .Encoder can be installed but must be sized by PDVSA as to the proper ppm rating. A hydraulic weight indicator
will be installed with load cell at the measure meter and dial at the operator’s console. A fold down transit storage
post will be installed to maintain the arm and measure meter during transit.
