6 Core Features of HDD Rig
- Trenchless & Zero Surface Damage: This horizontal directional drilling equipment adopts fully trenchless construction. It requires no road excavation, lawn damage or building demolition, effectively protecting urban surface facilities and natural vegetation.
- High-Precision Directional Drilling: Equipped with a professional intelligent guidance system, the horizontal directional drilling rig monitors the drill bit’s position, depth and trajectory in real time. It accurately avoids underground pipelines, rocks, and obstacles, ensuring drilling accuracy.
- Stable Full Hydraulic Power System: Full hydraulic drive provides a strong and stable drilling and pipe-pulling force. It adapts to complex geology such as clay, sand and soft rock, supporting long-distance and large-diameter pipeline laying.
- Low Construction Impact & Environmentally Friendly: The whole construction process produces low noise and no dust pollution. It will not block urban traffic or damage ecological environment, fully complying with European strict environmental and urban construction standards.
- High Construction Efficiency & Short Cycle: Integrated drilling, reaming, and pipe pulling procedures simplify construction steps. Compared with traditional excavation methods, it improves overall efficiency by more than double and greatly shortens project delivery time.
- Simple Operation & Low Maintenance Cost: The intelligent integrated control panel reduces operation difficulty. Modular structural design makes daily inspection and replacement of wearing parts convenient, lowering long-term operating costs.

Real Customer Cases about Horizontal Directional Drilling Rig
Case 1: Hungary Urban Municipal Contractor
- Client Background: Local municipal contractor in Hungary engaged in downtown optical cable & small water pipe trenchless laying inside compact city zones.
- Difficulties: Narrow downtown construction space, only small reaming below Φ600mm needed; the old rig had unstable pull force and low mud output, causing frequent hole shrinkage.
- Solution: Supplied YG-160A horizontal directional drilling machine, 100KW, max pull 160/100KN, max reaming Φ600mm, mud flow 160L/min, total weight 6700kg compact body.
- Effect: Compact dimension 5700×1820×2400mm fits tight urban lanes; steady powerhead torque 5000N·m avoids hole collapse, all small-bore pipeline projects finished ahead of schedule.
- Client Feedback: “This small HDD rig matches Hungarian city micro-trenching perfectly, stable mud supply cuts failure rate greatly.”
Case 2: Russian Cross-Road Gas Pipeline Firm
- Client Background: Russia’s large pipeline company focuses on long-distance gas pipeline crossing highways, requiring a large reaming diameter for thick gas pipelines.
- Difficulties: Local mixed sand-clay geology prone to hole collapse; previous low-torque rig unable to finish over Φ700mm reaming and insufficient drag force delayed pipe pulling.
- Solution: Adopt YG-320 horizontal directional drilling rig,160KW, max torque 12000N ·m, max reaming Φ800mm, 320L/min mud flow, max pull 320/320KN.
- Effect: High torque and large mud flow effectively stabilize the borehole; one-step smooth reaming and pipe pulling, project efficiency rises over 50%.
