Strong Thrust & Pullback: 900kN thrust and 450kN pullback, driven by Danfoss oil pumps, Rexroth motors/reducers, and HuaDe motors/reducers for multi-stage force output.
Dual Pullback Speeds: 22m/min for rapid retrieval and 11m/min for precision control in complex formations, optimizing workflow efficiency.

Smart Mud System

High-Pressure Mud Pump: YH mud swivel + ceramic-cylinder mud pump (600L/min@10MPa) with wear resistance, ideal for maintaining drilling stability in harsh conditions.
Precise Slurry Control: In-cabin mud flow adjustment + bentonite closing valve, allowing operators to regulate slurry supply in real time for optimal drilling performance.

Automation & Operational Efficiency

The ZT-45/90CDF HDD machine integrates intelligent automation to reduce manual intervention, lower labor costs, and enhance operational safety.

Fully Automated Rod Handling

Dual-Layer Rod Boxes: 18 rods total (9 rods/box) compatible with OD89mm×4570mm rods (4670mm inner length), supporting long-distance drilling without frequent rod replacement.
Low-Maintenance Design: Nylon boards with slurry leakage grooves minimize residue buildup, simplifying cleaning and extending component lifespan.

Ergonomic Operator Interface

360° Visibility: Rotatable cabin (0-90° adjustment) + extension arm + loudspeaker + integrated stairs, ensuring clear visibility of the drilling site and easy accessibility.
Customizable Control: Gessman joysticks + adjustable DSE monitor + height-customizable seat/armrests, providing a personalized and fatigue-free operating experience.

Robust Structural Design & Reliability

Built for durability and stability, the ZT-45/90CDF HDD machine thrives in challenging environments while maintaining long-term performance.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Adaptable Frame: Four-bar linkage frame with 13-20° angle adjustment, enabling stable operation on uneven or sloped terrains.
Anti-Slip Tracks: Steel tracks with 86 rubber blocks, offering vibration damping, anti-slip protection, and enhanced stability during drilling.

Multi-Functional Auxiliaries

Reduced Manual Work: Tilted vice jaws, 2T crane (optional 3.5T upgrade), washing gun, and auto-grease system minimize manual intervention.
Enhanced Safety: Rear support legs + 4 free anchor stakes + front anchor plates (6 anchors total) firmly secure the HDD machine during drilling and transportation.

Safety & All-Climate Adaptability

The ZT-45/90CDF HDD machine prioritizes operator safety and environmental resilience, making it suitable for global projects in diverse conditions.

Dual-Layer Safety Protection

Mud Pump Interlock: Activates only when vice jaws are closed, eliminating misuse risks and ensuring operational safety.
Emergency Response: Max bentonite supply button on the right joystick for one-touch emergency control.
Vice Jaw Design: Extended 111mm locking segment for OD89mm (FS1 #1000 thread) rods, with automatic lubrication and cleaning systems to reduce thread wear.

All-Climate Operation

Temperature Resilience: Hydraulic oil electric heating + cabin AC/heater, supporting reliable operation from -20°C to 50°C.
Durability Features: Internal anti-corrosion coating + noise reduction system, extending service life and minimizing environmental impact (ideal for urban areas).

Easy Transport & Low Maintenance

Designed for global accessibility and cost efficiency, the ZT-45/90CDF HDD machine simplifies logistics and reduces operational downtime.

Modular Global-Ready Design

Compact Dimensions: 8930×2300×2520mm, fitting 40HQ containers for cost-effective global transportation.
Optimal Weight: 16,300kg (≤17,000kg) — balancing lightweight portability and heavy-duty strength, easy to transport to dense urban areas.

Low-Maintenance Advantages
