The unique corrosion protection that makes your shank last longer.
Shank adapters are very time-consuming to change. They can weigh more than 25 kilos/55 pounds and be complicated and heavy to handle. Therefore, the shank's life span is crucial when planning your drilling operation and keeping a deadline.
The Golden Shank from Sandvik Rock Tools has a new type of corrosion protection that will help you plan and execute your underground drilling operations in a much more productive and predictable way. Compared to conventional corrosion-protection shanks, the Golden Shank has a service life last 30-100% longer, saving both time and money.
Field test results
Using the Golden Shank will result in a longer service life, more predictable product outcome, and service intervals that are longer without the need to change shank adapters.
The shank's tool life is crucial for the whole mining operation.
