Excavator-Mounted Rock Drills & Feed Systems for Micropiles
RENT OR PURCHASE THE EXRH10X FEED SYSTEM
Turn Your Excavator Into A High-Capacity Drilling Platform
When demanding ground conditions or tight project schedules call for maximum drilling power, flexibility, and precision, Intech Anchoring Systems’ excavator-mounted feed systems deliver the performance contractors depend on. Designed for hydraulic excavators, these WORD Rock Drill systems provide the reach, stability, and torque needed for installing hollow bar anchors, micropiles, and soil nails in demanding ground conditions.
Mounting directly to the excavator boom lets operators reposition between bore locations and change drilling angles without mobilizing a separate drill rig, a strong fit for slope stabilization, foundation support, retaining structures, and earth retention work.
Engineered For Reach, Positioning & Higher-Capacity Drilling
The EXRH10X pairs a WORD feed system with a Eurodrill RH10X hydraulic rotary-percussive drill. Available to rent or buy.
Excavator-mounted feed systems make sense when the project has enough operating room for a larger carrier and drilling productivity, positioning, or reach takes priority. The system uses the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit, so crews get high-capacity drilling without mobilizing a separate rig, and the HPH360 positioner gives operators 360-degree lateral positioning at each bore location.
Each system ships built for durability with heavy-duty rails, a two-motor rotary-percussive drifter, and a modular design that keeps attachment, setup, and maintenance straightforward in the field.
Common applications include:
- Hollow bar micropiles & anchors: Install self-drilling bars for foundation support and difficult subsurface conditions.
- Soil nails & tiebacks: Drill at required angles along slopes, cuts, and retaining structures.
- Slope stabilization: Reposition efficiently along grades and difficult terrain without a standalone drill rig.
- Retaining walls & shoring: Anchor bridge abutments, retaining systems, and excavation support.
- Confined & restricted-access sites: Bring higher-capacity drilling to urban and limited-mobility sites where conventional rigs struggle to operate.

Excavator compatibility should be checked before scheduling: the system requires sufficient auxiliary hydraulic flow, case drain, and lift capacity. The energy chain extends beyond the 21′ feed length whenever the drifter travels up the feed, so this should factor into jobsite clearance planning.
