Caterpillar Oil and Gas has introduced the Cat TH55 E70 and TH55 E90 Reman transmissions for use in oil and gas pressure pumping applications
With units available to order, customers can now purchase the TH55 transmission through Cat Reman.
The company stated that the TH55 transmission is known as the most powerful, longest-lasting transmission available for well service operations. By expanding this product offering into the Cat Reman product line, Caterpillar is offering customers the same great product at a lower price.
Rajesh Sethupathi, Caterpillar oil and gas account manager, said, “Caterpillar’s TH55 transmissions for pressure pumping have years of experience operating in the oilfield. The addition of Reman TH55 transmissions expands the portfolio of Reman offerings and complements Cat dealer rebuilds by offering another repair option for our oil and gas customers.”
“Together with Cat Reman, we’re committed to helping our customers do more and produce less waste. By investing in Cat Reman, customers can reduce their downtime and save money on maintenance and repair costs. Remanufacturing also helps keep high-value raw materials in productive use and extend the value of the non-renewable resources consumed in a component’s original manufacture,” added Sethupathi.
Rated at 3300 hp, both models of the TH55 provide exceptional power, last four to five times longer than the competition, and are compatible for use with Cat 3512 engines, according to the manufacturer.
The seven-forward speed TH55 E70 has zero reverse gears and a deep first gear ratio (6:25:1). For customers with the need for additional gear choices, the nine-forward speed TH55 E90 is a viable option, as this transmission provides power and can still maintain a first gear ratio deeper than any competitor. Customers also have the flexibility to exchange a TH55 E70 transmission core for a TH55 E90 transmission.
