“Following on from the release of the 100,000Max back in May we have seen a phenomenal amount of interest in these new high torque drives, particularly with the growing requirement in the market for screw piling and core barreling applications. We are extremely fortunate to have had the likes of WRB and Jordan Rail up here in Queensland and down in Victoria help us test the product and really put it through its paces, so we are confident that when the going gets tough, whether you are drilling wide, deep or you are trying to get through some tough rock with a core barrel this is the drive that should be top of your list.”The 150,000Max & 100,000Max drives are now available and in stock in Brisbane & Melbourne and via the specialist dealer network.” – Kelvin Hamilton, Head of Auger Torque, Australia
