Advantages & Disadvantages

A comparison of our earth drilling rigs

In contrast to conventional geared earth drilling rigs, our hydraulic models work almost wear-free. Without a gear mechanism, there is less friction, less heat and significantly less maintenance. The result: more performance, higher reliability and a significantly longer lifespan — even under the harshest operating conditions.

That's what our customers say

More power for demanding drilling

The motors deliver impressively consistent torque. We notice the difference, especially when it comes to hard floors: more flow, faster work and fewer blockages. We wouldn't switch back anymore.

Tobias Schmidt
Managing Director Müller Bau GmbH

Significantly less downtime

Since we have been using hydraulic earth drilling equipment, we have massively reduced our unplanned downtimes. The motors run consistently and reliably — even under continuous load. For us, this is a real advantage in everyday construction work.

Markus Lechner
Construction manager for specialist civil engineering

Maintenance that virtually no longer takes place

In the past, we had to open the transmissions regularly and replace parts. With hydraulic motors, that's over. Hardly any wear, no stress, no expensive downtime. That is exactly how modern technology should work.

FAQ

Common questions

Here you will find answers to the most common questions about our hydraulic earth drilling rigs, areas of application and our service. Should you require any further information, we are always available in person.

How do hydraulic earth drilling rigs differ from devices with mechanical transmission?

Mechanical transmissions work with gears, which can wear out quickly under heavy load and require regular maintenance. Hydraulic motors, on the other hand, transfer power via pressure — with almost no mechanical abrasion. This results in higher reliability, fewer repairs and a significantly longer service life.

Why are earth drilling rigs so low-maintenance?

Since power is transmitted hydraulically, many parts that are susceptible to wear, such as gears or couplings, are omitted. Less friction means less wear and therefore significantly longer maintenance intervals. In everyday life, this results in lower costs and less downtime.

What areas of application are the earth drilling rigs suitable for?

The motors have been developed for demanding applications in civil engineering and special civil engineering. This includes pile foundations, microtunneling, foundation work, drill piles, exploratory drilling and all applications that require high pulling power and reliability.

What is the lifespan of an earth drill rig?

Thanks to the robust construction and hydraulic transmission, the motors achieve a lifetime of up to 40-70% longer than conventional mechanical systems (depending on the application profile). Many customers use the same motors continuously for years.

Does the engine require special oil or special equipment?

The earth drilling rigs use standard hydraulic oil as recommended by the manufacturer. No exotic or hard-to-obtain equipment is required. Regular monitoring of the oil level and filters is usually sufficient to ensure maximum performance.

Can the earth drilling rig be integrated into existing systems?

Yes The earth drilling rigs are designed in such a way that they can be integrated into many existing drilling rigs. Thanks to standardized connections and modular design, replacement or retrofitting is easy in most cases.
