A drawworks gearbox includes additional braking on the input side of the gearbox to provide a redundant emergency brake and, optionally, a separate parking brake with the drumside brakes being the emergency brake. An air-cooled brake disc is attached to a high speed coupling connected to the gearbox input pinion. A hydraulic-apply, spring-release brake is mounted to the gearbox housing at each pinion location and arranged to act on its respective disc.
