Features / Benefits
- This impressively powered drill will enable boring through hard rock with less hassle.
- A hollow inner rod design results in more air and drilling fluid flow to the drill head on pilot bores and the hole opener during pullback, providing contractors the ability to select from a more diverse range of tooling options, including air hammers and larger hole openers.
- Save time by spending less of it on rod makeup and more on putting utilities in the ground.
- Spend less time switching out rod boxes and go further with your install by having more onboard rod carrying capacity.
- A cab can help reduce fatigue from outdoor elements and enhance operator comfort.
