Truck Mount Drilling
Truck mounted drilling rigs are the workhorses of the industry and Pacific Drilling Co. has four; Our newest and most versatile, the SaberCat MTXD, the Yeti M10, and our Wolverine M5 are extremely sophisticated hydraulic rotary rigs built by MARL Technologies in Alberta Canada. All are equipped with the revolutionary eSPT™ all-digital, self-calibrating auto hammer. The SaberCat MTXD and the Wolverine M5 are both mounted to 4×4, high clearance chassis with central tire pressure control. These street legal drills can access borings within the roughest of terrains, and provide auger, air percussion, mud rotary, rock coring and CPT soundings! The Yeti M10 has the equivalent rotary torque of a CME 95 and is equipped for auger, rotary wash, air rotary and CPT. Additionally, we have a Diedrich D50 rotary drill with auger, rotary wash, DTH air percussion and rock coring capabilities.
All four rigs are CARB and OSHA compliant, have on board water tanks and progressive cavity pumps.
Limited Access Drilling

Hard rock and cobble present unique challenges. To meet those challenges, Pacific Drilling Co utilizes DTH air hammers and a high volume, high pressure air compressor. Our track mount Mini-Mole, Fraste PL-G, truck mount Diedrich D50, Yeti M10 and SaberCat MTXD rigs are all configured to advance 4” to 6” diameter DTH hammers to depths of up to 100 feet.

Our crews can access your boring site for Mud Rotary drilling using either our truck mount Yeti M10 or Diedrich D50, our all-terrain SaberCat MTXD or our limited-access track mount Fraste PL-G and the extremely small Mini-Mole.
