Rock Drills & Feed Systems: Feed Equipment for Any Access Condition
RENT ROCK DRILLS & FEED SYSTEMS
Match Your Drill Setup To The Ground And Access
A drilling setup that works efficiently on an open commercial site may be completely impractical inside a basement, along a slope, or between existing structures. Intech Anchoring Systems supplies WORD Rock Drills and feed systems for hollow bar micropiles, tiebacks, soil nails, rock anchors, and other geotechnical drilling applications, with configurations built around the equipment and space available on the job.
Excavator-mounted, skid-steer-mounted, and limited-access systems are available so contractors can match drilling capability to site conditions instead of forcing one machine into every project. Rental and purchase options also let you add specialized drilling capacity without making every project an equipment investment.
Rock Drilling Systems Built Around The Jobsite
Feed Equipment For Open Sites, Restricted Access & Difficult Ground
Successful hollow bar installation depends on more than having enough rotational force to advance a bit. The feed system, carrier machine, hydraulic supply, available drilling angle, overhead clearance, ground conditions, and bar size all affect how efficiently a crew can install the system.
Intech pairs rock drills with feed systems designed to support the Magnacore hollow bar product line across changing soil and rock conditions. Excavator-mounted systems give crews reach and higher drilling capability on open sites, skid steer attachments combine maneuverability with productive drilling, and limited-access equipment brings hollow bar installation into locations a conventional drill rig cannot easily reach.
That range gives contractors a practical equipment path for projects such as:
- Hollow bar micropiles: Advance self-drilling bars while drilling and grouting through variable soils or difficult subsurface conditions.
- Hollow bar tiebacks: Install anchoring systems for retaining structures, excavation support, and earth retention applications.
- Soil nails: Drill at required angles along slopes, cuts, and retaining systems where equipment positioning affects production.
- Rock anchors: Use rotary or rotary-percussive drilling capability to advance anchoring systems into competent material.
- Foundation support: Complete micropile installations where existing structures, utilities, or access restrictions affect equipment selection.
- Slope stabilization: Position drilling equipment along grades and difficult terrain without relying on a conventional standalone drill rig.
The right configuration starts with the site. Tell us what you are installing, the carrier equipment available, access limitations, ground conditions, and hydraulic capacity, and our team can help narrow down the rock drill and feed system that fits the work.
Rock Drilling Attachments
WORD Rock Drills can turn equipment already working on the project into a dedicated drilling platform. Instead of mobilizing the same-size machine for every installation, contractors can select an attachment around access, production requirements, bar size, hydraulic capacity, and drilling conditions.
Excavator-Mounted Feed Systems
Reach, Positioning & Higher-Capacity Drilling
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. Mounting directly to the excavator boom allows the operator to reposition between locations and change drilling angles without mobilizing a separate drill rig.
The EXRH10X rental configuration uses a WORD feed system paired with a EURODRILL RH10X hydraulic rotary-percussive rock drill. Its mounting and positioning capabilities make it a strong fit for hollow bar micropiles, anchors, soil nails, slope stabilization, retaining structures, and foundation drilling.
| Featured rental unit | EXRH10X |
| Mounting | 80 mm and 90 mm 2-pin excavator adapters available |
| Feed system | WD3010H hydraulic chain feed |
| Pull capacity | 7,000 lbs |
| Positioning | HPH360 positioner with 360-degree lateral positioning |
| Rock drill | EURODRILL RH10X hydraulic rotary-percussive drill |
| Minimum hydraulic requirement | 55 GPM at 3,000 PSI |
| Maximum bar size | Up to T103 |
| Maximum bit diameter | Up to 8 inches |
| Controls | Radio remote operation |
| Availability | Rental with additional drifters and accessories available for purchase |
The system also supports accessories such as a hydraulic clamp and breaker, line oiler, angle indication, additional positioning controls, energy chain, and nitrogen charge kit. Before reserving the unit, carrier hydraulic flow, case drain, and lift capacity should be reviewed to confirm equipment compatibility.
Skid Steer Mounted Feed Systems
Compact Mobility Without Giving Up Production
Skid steer mounted drilling equipment creates a middle ground between large excavator setups and specialized limited access systems. A contractor can use a carrier already familiar to the crew while gaining a dedicated rock drilling setup that moves efficiently between installation locations.
The SS540L uses a universal skid loader plate and a Doofor DF540L hydraulic drifter. Its smaller footprint makes it useful on sites where maneuverability matters but there is still enough room for skid steer operation.
| Featured rental unit | SS540L |
| Mounting | Universal skid loader plate |
| Feed system | WD3000 drill feed |
| Drill travel | 10 feet |
| Push/pull capacity | 7,000 lbs |
| Rock drill | Doofor DF540L hydraulic drifter |
| Minimum hydraulic requirement | 38 GPM at 2,500 PSI |
| Maximum bar size | Up to 2 inches |
| Maximum bit diameter | Up to 4 inches |
| Striker bars | R32, R38, T40, R51 and T52 |
| Controls | Manual proportional controls |
| Availability | Rental with additional drifters and accessories available for purchase |
Rental configurations can also include a hydraulic clamp, stabilizer kickstands, energy chain, nitrogen charge kit, and accessory storage. Straightforward pricing makes it easier to compare a project-specific rental against purchasing additional drilling equipment for your permanent fleet.
Limited Access Feed Systems
Bring Hollow Bar Drilling Into The Places Larger Equipment Cannot Go
Some foundation and anchoring projects leave almost no room for conventional drilling equipment. Basements, building interiors, low-headroom areas, existing facilities, tight property lines, and restricted urban sites can make carrier size just as important as drilling capability.
Limited access feed systems are built around those constraints. The compact configuration allows contractors to bring hollow bar drilling capability closer to the actual installation point instead of redesigning site logistics around a larger machine. Intech identifies limited access equipment as a solution for confined and low-headroom conditions and pairs these systems with the same broader WORD Rock Drills lineup used for hollow bar foundation and anchoring work.
| Best suited for | Restricted drilling environments |
| Access conditions | Basements, interiors, low-headroom areas and confined sites |
| Equipment approach | Compact feed system configuration |
| Foundation applications | Hollow bar micropiles and foundation support |
| Anchoring applications | Tiebacks, soil nails and rock anchors |
| Primary advantage | Drilling access where larger carrier equipment cannot practically operate |
| Availability | Rental or purchase options based on equipment configuration |
Limited access equipment can also solve mobilization problems that are easy to overlook during estimating. Getting the feed system closer to the bore location can reduce the amount of site modification, temporary access work, or oversized equipment coordination required simply to begin drilling.
