Why Choose the MHD

The MHD is built to take on large-scale foundation work that smaller rigs cannot handle. More powerful, more capable, and ready for tough terrain — making it the go-to rig for contractors who need depth, diameter, and reliability without added complexity.

Heavy-Duty TorqueUp to 65,000 ft-lbs of torque for tough soil, rock, and casing jobs.
Deep Drilling CapacityReaches 50 to 120 feet — ideal for bridges, overpasses, and infrastructure foundations requiring serious depth.
Wide Diameter OptionsAccommodates augers up to 144" diameter to handle larger bore requirements on demanding projects.
Track-Mounted StrengthOn and off-road track-mount with track configurations built for jobsite demands including rough terrain.
Made for FoundationsOptimized for projects requiring reliable, deep structural support in variable conditions and soil types.
Joystick ControlsSame intuitive joystick control system as the LHD — minimal learning curve despite the increased power and capability.

Kelly Bars: Round vs Square

Round Kelly bars use a manual locking system and perform best in hard or rocky ground. Square Kelly Bars feature a friction lock and are ideal for softer soils, offering quicker alignment and greater flexibility. Spiradrill rigs support both, so you can match your bar to the job.
