| Machine Overview & Infrastructure Focus |
| A legendary maxi-class horizontal directional drill boasting 500,000 lbs (225 metric tons) of thrust/pullback force and 50,000 ft-lbs of spindle torque. Purpose-built for massive, large-diameter pipeline installations and demanding river crossings. Engineered with a modular footprint, independent hydraulic circuits to prevent cross-contamination, and direct high-torque hydraulic motors to enhance reliability and onsite serviceability. |

| Maximum Carriage Travel Speed |
64 ft/min (19.5 m/min) |
| Drive Train Array |
1 Rotation Motor / 2 Carriage Drive Motors |
| Mud Swivel Size |
3 in (7.6 cm) |
| High Torque Direct Drive |
Employs single, high-torque / low-speed through-shaft hydraulic motors (Hagglunds) directly on rotary and carriage lines. Completely eliminates complex bull gears, pinions, and high-speed planetary reduction gearboxes. |
| Independent Hydraulic Architecture |
Engineered with independent isolated circuits for rotation, thrust/pullback, and auxiliary functions. Each system connects solely to its own pumps and tank chambers, ensuring that hydraulic fluid contamination is confined to a single loop, minimizing maintenance downtime. |
| Thrust Bearing Box |
Houses an oversized bearing pack assembly engineered specifically to absorb harsh axial thrust and pullback shock loads, protecting the rotational drivetrain from premature wear. |
| Breakout Vise Assemblies |
| Lower Vise Configuration |
Fully enclosed, triple-jaw (3-jaw) clamp, 8 in (20.3 cm) block style |
| Lower Vise Breakout Force |
253,000 ft-lb (343,022.5 Nm) |
| Lower Vise Travel & Net Weight |
Travel Distance: 6 ft (1.8 m) | Weight: 3,800 lbs (1,723.7 kg) |
| Lower Vise Inside Diameter |
9.8 in (24.9 cm) |
| Lower Vise Versatility |
Features easily replaceable dies and variably sized jaw blocks. Detachable via two heavy-duty pins and six hydraulic quick-disconnects for quick reconfigurations or casing alignment procedures. |
| Upper Vise Configuration |
Floating carriage-mounted upper vise, 2-jaw clamp design (Standard Equipment) |
| Upper Vise Clamp Force |
250,000 ft-lb (338,955 Nm) |
| Upper Vise Inside Diameter |
10 in (25.4 cm) |
| Upper Vise Performance Advantage |
Grips the drill rod directly adjacent to the drive shaft, preventing rod wrap/wind-up during joint breakouts. Integrated lateral float stops premature thread striping and drastically cuts carriage travel cycle times down the frame. |
