The heavy-duty hydraulic fracturing transmission will deliver unmatched performance in high pressure duty cycles in the harshest operating environments. The FracTran is designed for high reliability with a lifespan of up to 25,000 hours and overhaul designed to provide a second life with no replacement of hard parts resulting in a low total cost of ownership.

The FracTran incorporates eight gear ranges and is available with multiple gear ratio options to meet our customers’ unique performance requirements. The FracTran launches with a power rating of 3,300 horsepower and 10,000 lb-ft. of input torque to meet current market demands. However, the product is capable of developing up to 3,500 horsepower with no hardware modifications required. Additionally, the FracTran offers filter and fluid life prognostics, a transmission-mounted control module, torsion measurement diagnostics, and a telematics gateway on the platform.
