Hercules Deadline Anchor Co. began in early 1980 with the purchase of the company from Elmer Decker of Decker Engineering. Our very first anchor was manufactured in March 1981, marking the start of decades of consistent production. Since then, we’ve built thousands of anchors earning a reputation as the recognized industry leader in deadline anchors.
In the late 1980s, we expanded our product line with the patented SG Sure Grip anchors, specifically designed for use with Plastic Filled Valley Wire Rope.
Continuing our tradition of innovation, we developed rotating drum anchors in 2005 to make the drill line cut-and-slip process faster and easier. The first rotating drum model was sold in 2006, and today, it’s available in multiple sizes to meet varying operational needs.
From our standard models to specialized designs, Hercules continues to manufacture deadline anchors to the same high standards and quality that have set the benchmark for the drilling and workover industry for more than four decades.
