entraînement hydraulique par le haut

This drive (''entraînement'') is mounted on the top (''haut'') of the drilling equipment. It's a hydraulic power pack, consisting of a hydraulic motor, hydraulic pump, etc.
See web site below, showing this ''entraînement par le haut'' for a filter, but the principle is the same.
The second web site illustrates the same thing, but for a rig.
Example sentence:

Entraînement par le haut, mécanique externe
