SaberCat MTXD
Like the Wolverine M5, Pacific Drilling Co.’s newest all-terrain drill rig is capable of accessing remote and rugged job sites, with some marked improvements. This remarkable, self-contained drill rig is a collaboration between Pacific Drilling and the engineers at MARL Technologies. Mounted on a heavy-duty, Western Star 4×4 high clearance truck chassis, this drill is truly the “Swiss Army Knife” of geotechnical rigs. It is equipped with 3.25-6.5 in. I.D. hollow stem augers, has mud rotary, air rotary, rock coring and SCPT capabilities, along with a digital self-calibrating eSPT™ auto hammer. Capable of drilling where conventional rigs wouldn’t dream of, the SaberCat MTXD is now the gold standard for Geotechnical Drills.
