Our Horizontal Directional Drilling Rigs in the category of 300 to
800 kN pull force are powerful and technically fully developed
devices. Due to their compact structure time requirements for
the setting up of the drill mast in both drilling and transport
positions are reduced to a minimum.
All driving, setting and drilling functions are actuated by a water-cooled diesel engine. Feed as well as pull back function of
the hydraulic power rotary head are carefully driven by a rack &
pinion (RP) feed system. With our HDD-Rigs of type 30 to 80 tons
drillings of lengths up to max. 1,000 m and of diameters up to
maximum 1,000 mm are achievable.

Our Horizontal Directional Drilling Rigs can be equipped with a

full-automatic drill rod magazine with a capacity of maximum
72 m of drill rods or, alternatively, with a semi-automatic drill
rod supply with 30 m of drill rods.
The optionally available control cabin is equipped with ergonomical seat, heating and radio. Further options like air conditioning, drill data log-in system etc. are available on request.
The special feature of our Compact-Rig is the pump on board.
This saves space during transport and on site and also offers
greater flexibility.
