Powerful Turbo-Diesel Engine

Options ranging from 210 – 350Hp. These are available in single, double, and triple engine configurations to suit Man-portable, Truck-portable and Heli-portable drilling.

Proprietary Drill Head

Our P sized Drill Head is rated to take up to 500hp and 70,000lbs of pull-back. We have eliminated the main sources of Drill Head failures including the chuck release bearing, internal opening cylinder, and gear transmission.

Fail Proof Footclamp

Footclamps require incredible holding power. At the same time, they need to be easy to maintain and operate. While others opt to use overly complex “chucks”, the innovative Hydracore footclamps use two standard hydraulic cylinders The cylinders on this PW (S) sized clamp hold up to 70,000lbs and one set of jaws works for all rod sizes!

Adjustable Saddle Bearings

Keeping with our maintenance friendly designs our drills offer adjustable saddle bearings. These are adjusted in several minutes allowing you to focus on putting core in the box.

Direct Acting Hydraulic Control

Direct acting hydraulics are the gold standard in the industry. We design all drilling functions for direct control. Optimal reliability, and maximum uptime.

Ease of Access

All hydraulic equipment needs attention at some point. Our innovative control panel is designed to hinge open and expose all components for ease of maintenance and cleaning.
