Surface down-the-hole drill rigs

Sandvik surface down the hole drill rigs

Our Sandvik Surface down-the-hole (DTH) drills offer the highest mobility, a smaller footprint and the ability to serve multiple sites. Equipped with powerful down-the-hole hammers, Down The Hole Rigs are designed for high-capacity rock drilling in quarries, opencast mines and rock excavation projects.

Our Leopard™ series of DTH drills are new generation down-the-hole drill rigs, designed for large and medium-sized quarries and contractors. They match perfectly with 5" hammers, making the rigs uniquely productive and keeping fuel consumption and operating costs to a minimum. Great usability, efficient rig operation and an unobstructed component layout come as standard. We're confident that the Leopard™ series drills can stand up to any task, including production drilling, quarry/mine development and wall control.
