ROD HANDLER
Designed with safety in mind the semi automated rod handler has been operating on Boart
Longyear™ underground diamond drills. The rod handler reduces operator fatigue,
Occupational Health and Safety liabilities and can improve productivity.
Load rods at the same comfortable height every time independent of drilling angle.
Reduces the possibility of hand and back injuries.
Overcomes the need for work platforms - Increases productivity particularly on deep large
diameter holes.
Easily retro-fitted.
Automated Rod Threading.

Non intrusive laser guarding.
