Precision-Balanced Drums for Controlled Wireline Deployment in Oilfield Service

Product Overview

Scan Engineering’s Wireline Drums are engineered for safe, accurate cable management in slickline operations during well interventions. Built for both fixed and mobile rigs, these drums ensure stable rotation, optimized cable tension control, and rugged durability in high-pressure environments. With over 20+ units delivered in both mild steel and aluminum configurations, our assemblies are field-proven across onshore and offshore applications. Each drum is dynamically tested for mechanical balance and load endurance before dispatch, ensuring long-term reliability under operational stress.
