Kelly Bars: Round vs. Square

Kelly Bars power your drill’s torque and depth. Round Kelly Bars use a manual locking system and perform best in hard or rocky ground. Square Kelly Bars feature a friction lock and are ideal for softer soils, offering quicker alignment and greater flexibility.

Spiradrill rigs support both, so you can match your bar to the job.

LHD-XL Common Applications

The LHD-XL is a compact but powerful hydraulic drilling rig engineered for deeper utility and foundation drilling. With its extended torque, depth range, and low working height, it’s a versatile solution for contractors working in tight or high-demand environments.

Foundation Drilling for Signs and Structures

Built for performance, the LHD-XL is perfect for foundation drilling jobs that require moderate depth and power — from commercial footings to street signage and light structural foundations.

Utility Pole Drilling in Restricted Spaces

The LHD-XL is ideal for utility pole installation where traditional drilling rigs can’t operate. Its compact design and extended reach make it a top choice for utility drilling near structures, fences, and overhead power lines.

Low-Clearance and Urban Drilling Projects

With a low working height and road-legal transportability, the LHD-XL excels in urban and overhead-restricted job sites. It’s an efficient drilling rig for areas under bridges, utility lines, and in compact metro zones.

“I have used many other brands. I switched because when you work in this industry, you have to buy equipment that lasts. In my opinion, Spiradrill’s are the best.”
