AVD Hydraulics packages
AVD Hydraulics packages
AVD's experience and expertise in drill rigs making, hydraulics and controls just translated into a variety of hydraulic packages available. We have everything you would want for a hydraulics package depending on the budget and on the level of performance and efficiency that you need.
AVD's hydraulics packages are not only a key building block for a new drill rigs, they are also retrofittable to any AVD rigs ever built. The high-efficiency-hydraulics packages are also particularly easy to upgrade from one to another.

Features
AVD High Efficiency Hydraulics
A lot of optimization work have been done at AVD on the hydraulics systems, our goal was to design an optimized hydraulics system that has nothing to envy to the other systems available on the market, offering more reliable dril rigs that are also more ecoenergetic. Available on Stage-2, Stage-3 and Stage-4 hydraulics packages:
- Implementation of cutting edge load sensed hydraulics.
- Significant reduction in lenght of hydraulic piping.
- Optimization in the size and position of valves and valve banks.
- Different settings options available for the drillers to fine-tune and customize the drilling behavior.
AVD Electronic-over-hydraulic control software
The software programmation was done by skilled engineers hand-in-hand with the drillers on the field. The automations are fine tuned and optimal, delays reduced to the maximum to ensure it helps improving driller's performance. There are also some error-proof and safety features built-in.
- Electronic feed cushioning improves life on the main cylinder.
- High quality sensors utilized to ensure reliability and the quickest update rates for maximum precision of movement and monitoring.
- Error-proof rod tripping and synchronization features.
- Safer interlock guarding control system.
