Drifter Rods
Drifter rods are essential components in top hammer drilling, ensuring efficient energy transmission between the drill rig and drill bit. Our high-strength drifter rods are manufactured using premium-grade alloy steel and undergo advanced heat treatment for superior durability, wear resistance, and fatigue strength.
Designed for underground and surface drilling, our drifter rods provide maximum drilling precision, reduced hole deviation, and extended tool life. Available in a variety of thread types (R32, R38, T38, T45, T51, ST58, ST68) and lengths, they are compatible with leading drilling systems from Sandvik, Epiroc, and Atlas Copco.
