When drilling gas-leak detection and extraction holes, save the operator’s body and let the machine take the abuse. The Hornet™ utility drill from Minnich offers an ergonomic solution. Featuring a patent-pending design, The Hornet absorbs drill vibrations, reducing operator fatigue and increasing productivity. The unit feeds the drill in and out of the hole, allowing the operator to stand in an upright position. Compact, lightweight and easy to move, The Hornet is ideal for drilling through a variety of materials including concrete, asphalt, brick and dirt.

Canister-style dust collector utilizes a Venturi suction unit to remove dust in the air while drilling. Can be retrofitted to any existing dowel drill unit regardless of make or model. Comes with drill rod guide collection boots, a 5-gal. pail-type hopper and up to 20 ft. of vacuum hose per drill. Each canister accommodates up to two rock drills and offers a 60 sq. meter filter area. Require 40 (hydraulic drill) to 50 scfm (air drill) and 60 to 110 psi.

Minnich's Barrier Wall Drill – a self propelled, pneumatic drill specifically designed to optimize efficiency and safety during the process of securing barrier walls.

The Minnich Barrier Wall Drill features vertically-mounted drills, strategically positioned to ensure precise and effective drilling operations. Its design allows the drill to travel seamlessly across each section of the temporary wall while riding along the top with utmost stability.

Operating from the non-traffic side of the barrier, the operator gains full control using a tethered controller, enabling the simultaneous drilling of up to three pin holes through pre-molded openings in the wall. These holes extend through the road and penetrate the sub-base, creating a robust foundation for anchoring the barrier wall using steel pins.

To further enhance the drilling experience, an optional dust collection system is also available, ensuring a cleaner and safer working environment.

Minnich A-3SCW/A-4SCW/A-5SCW on-slab self-propelled wireless units increase drilling efficiency, accuracy and safety. Wireless remote control technology enables operators to drill up to five holes at once and drive down the slab to drill the next set of holes — all while standing in the grade away from the equipment. From this clear vantage point, operators can drill faster and more accurately while avoiding dust, debris and obstacles. Power crab steering further boosts efficiency by letting operators drive down the slab without raising and lowering the drill bed.

Minnich A-3/A-6 machine-mounted drills maximize productivity and safety on patchwork jobs. Featuring up to six drills, these pneumatic units can be mounted to an excavator, backhoe or skid-steer loader to form a self-contained and highly mobile drilling solution for full-depth repair. Besides offering the maneuverability to get jobs done faster, A-3/A-6 drills provide a safer alternative for operators, eliminating fatigue by using the carrier to transport the drill. Available side-shift functionality enables operators to drill a second set of holes without having to reposition the carrier, while an optional dust collection system reduces debris on the job site.

Make quicker work of vertical drilling jobs with the Minnich A-2V equipment-mounted drill. Powered by a compressor, the A-2V unit can be mounted to a skid-steer loader, loader or farm tractor to form a self-contained and highly mobile solution for drilling vertical holes. Ideal for jobs on which multiple damaged slabs need to be pulled, the A-2V drill offers operators a more efficient and safer alternative to drilling holes manually. The A-2V unit’s two drills can swivel to drill holes at an angle.

Minnich A-2SC/A-3SC/A-4SC/A-5SC multiple-drill self-propelled units with skid steering offer highly productive on-slab drilling solutions. A-2SC/A-3SC/A-4SC/A-5SC drills have the weight and strength to tow their own air compressor. Capable of horizontal and vertical drilling, the drills have crab steering that boosts efficiency by letting operators drive down the slab without raising and lowering the drill bed. On-grade kits, auto control and dust collection are available.

The Minnich A-1Q deep hole drill can be mounted on an excavator, compact excavator or skid-steer loader to deliver powerful, efficient performance in quarrying, blasting, anchoring and tie-back applications.

Minnich A-1C and A-2C drills with steering feature on-slab drilling solutions for almost any project. The A-1C single-drill series and A-2C double-drill series can drill in horizontal, vertical and 35-degree stitch positions, and the A-1C is capable of skew drilling for maximum versatility. All models feature steering to enhance operator accuracy and control, an automatic shut-off feature that extends drill life and available dust collection to minimize dust and debris on the job site. The A-2C drill cuts operating time roughly in half due to the incorporation of the second drill.

The Minnich A-1-UTL unit can drill vertically or horizontally, features a lightweight design for easy portability and requires minimal air — making it an ideal alternative to an electric hammer drill. Available in two powerful, compact models, the A-1-UTL drill works efficiently in confined spaces. Both units in the A-1-UTL lineup are available with an optional dust collection system to minimize debris on the jobsite. Special application and pattern kits are also available.
