Allison gearboxes help Dongfang Xianke workover machines enhance reliability and durability

Shanghai, July 6, 2023 - Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of drive solutions for traditional and electrified vehicles and a globally renowned producer of fully automatic transmissions for medium and heavy commercial vehicles, announced an official partnership with Dongfang Xianke. The Dongfang Xianke XJ550-850 type vehicle well servicing machine will be equipped with multiple types of Allison Oilfield Series (OFS) gearboxes to enhance the reliability and durability of the well servicing machine.

The excavation of underground oil and gas often involves various complex chemical and mechanical processes. During the self-injection, oil extraction or water and gas injection of oil and gas Wells, malfunctions may occur at any time. If not managed, it will lead to a reduction or even shutdown of oil and gas production. The fault handling of the workover rig ensures the normal production of crude oil in the oil well. The Allison oilfield series gearboxes are specially designed for the most demanding operating conditions in oil fields. With Continuous Power Technology™, the hydraulic torque converter can increase torque, ensuring smooth and continuous engine power output and handling various operating conditions.

After more than ten years of independent innovation and development as well as continuous improvement, the XJ350, XJ550, XJ650, XJ750 and XJ850 models of vehicle well decoration machines from Dongfang Xianke are mainly used for major overhauls of medium and shallow Wells, and can achieve a maximum static load of 1350 to 2250KN. Its power, winch and gearbox are all loaded on the vehicle, making it quick and convenient to move and install. The chassis has strong off-road performance, stable and reliable operation, and can meet the requirements of various well repair operations at well depths ranging from 1,000 meters to 9,000 meters.

"The durability of Allison Oilfield series gearboxes has become a consensus in the industry. This cooperation will make the workover RIGS of Dongfang Xianke more reliable and further enhance our productivity," said General Manager Li Xilu of Dongfang Xianke. The working conditions in oil fields are rather harsh, but Allison transmissions can enable our vehicles to accelerate faster, with an average speed 14% higher than that of manual or AMT vehicles. They offer better handling, traction and maneuverability when driving on loose soil or in confined Spaces. This is also an important reason why we chose to cooperate with Allison transmissions.

In the application of dual-mode or all-wheel drive workover RIGS, a transfer case is required to provide power output. The Allison Oilfield series gearboxes are equipped with an integrated transfer case, eliminating the need for additional transfer cases. This enables the workover rig to use the same engine and transmission to achieve both "road mode" and "working mode". This dual-mode function enables drivers to switch from cab operation control to workstation operation control, saving time and enhancing on-site work efficiency. Meanwhile, the advanced pre-diagnostic function of the Allison Oilfield series transmission can monitor various operating parameters, such as the service life of the oil and filter elements, as well as the operating status of the transmission, to determine when maintenance and repair are needed. This avoids unnecessary filter element replacement, protects the transmission to the greatest extent, and thus eliminates the need for manual guessing of transmission filter element replacement, saving time and operating costs.

In addition, Allison Transmission has established a vast global network composed of authorized distributors and agents. Besides providing spare parts, it also offers customers comprehensive service support, technical support and training. Many distributors offer emergency services and have parts warehouses tailored specifically for local customers to support their urgent needs.

Allison gearboxes are committed to elevating the performance and productivity of vehicles to a new level, while reducing downtime and increasing profits for customers with outstanding reliability. In the future, in order to meet the operational requirements of the energy market applications, Allison Transmission will uphold its long-standing brand commitment and innovative spirit, further optimize its products and high-value solutions, and contribute to the global commercial vehicle development
