Safety is at the heart of everything we do. At Apex we go beyond pure equipment design, the safety factors or minimum industry requirements. Our focus safe operation from installation, to production, to routine maintenance. 

Apex Units come standard with not so typical safety implementations,

• Standard with multi-jack-bolt tensioners on wristy pins.
• Engineered lifting locations.
• Crankloc^TM - An Industry first that addresses safe LOTO without ever placing any individual in the path of fire, patented. 

Apex design philosophies consider safety through out the entire process, as well as reliability and overall productivity.

All Apex Pumping Units are designed to exceed API 11e for both,

• Power Transmission
• Structural Elements
• FEA derived off-center setup, increasing production and reducing power consumption.
• Use of vibration resistant fastening systems in critical areas.

Apex material selections are superior,

• Fabricated Structure exceeds mechanical properties of ASTM A36 steels. 
• Rotating power transmission elements are produced from proprietary steel blends that far exceed the competition. 

Apex Manufacturing,

• Use of vacuum casting processes to reduce foundry defects through out .
• Near Net Forgings, where it matters most. 
• Manufacturing processes that yield gear quality ratings higher than any of the competition.
• In house heat treating and full metallurgical control systems. 

These are just a few of the things at Apex we do better than anyone else.

Very rarely will you find a engineered piece of equipment that has lubricants themselves as a primary element of consideration or design factor. At Apex we're focused on our commitment to engineering excellence. Apex has partnered with Schaeffer's Oil Company to integrate lubricant and lubrication engineering into the design cycles for our equipment.  What does this mean?

• More reliability, and reduced operating cost related to break downs. 
• Less oil changes and greasing. 
• Lower electrical consumption.
• Greater protection during overload events. 
• Advanced Geometry units that can operate at less than 1spm. 

Apex does have the capability to manage unique customer build specifications and customizations.

• Unique make/manufacture of internal bearing elements.
• Custom features
• Custom geometry, stroke lengths, or optimizations. 
• Just about anything you want.
