Features

Powerful Performance in a Compact Design
Don’t let its size fool you – the ZT-16 Small Horizontal Drilling Machine is a typical small rig with large capacity. Measuring only 4200*2000*2300mm and weighing 7.5T, its compact structure ensures easy transportation, even in space-constrained job sites. Both rotation and thrusting are powered by Eaton gerotor motors, delivering stable performance with full power. With a maximum torque of 4500N.m, rotation speed of 0-170rpm, and max pulling/thrusting force of 160kN, it effortlessly copes with various geological conditions, including rock, mud, and sand, as well as underground obstacles.

User-Friendly Operation & Precise Drilling
The ZT-16 is designed with operator convenience in mind. It features a multi-function button handle, a comfortable seat with a sunshade, and a user-friendly console. Professional operators can easily control the machine’s movement, drilling speed, and direction via the console. Equipped with advanced navigation and surveying systems, the machine guarantees the accuracy and precision of every drill, ensuring your pipeline installation meets the strictest standards. Additionally, the reasonable tubing layout reduces tubing wear and tear, extending the equipment’s service life.
