Enhanced Safety & Operator Protection
The SQTD-LP Drill Rig is operated under a protective canopy and permanent roof-bolt support, ensuring the operator remains within a designated safe zone throughout drilling operations. This configuration provides reliable protection, even when drilling in poor or variable ground conditions.
The rig’s protective canopy is ROPS and FOPS certified, while the braking system is approved to SANS 1589 standards, reinforcing compliance with recognized safety requirements.
By utilizing mechanical drilling, the SQTD-LP significantly reduces physical strain on operators. Safe operation is driven by skill and control rather than physical effort, lowering fatigue and the risk of injury.
Disciplined, mechanized drilling produces stable and well-formed rock walls, minimizing damage to the hanging wall and creating a safer, more controlled working environment for the entire drill crew.

High-Efficiency Drilling Performance
The drill features an electrohydraulic design, making it easy to operate, service, and maintain on site, reducing downtime and simplifying routine maintenance.
Its skid-steer mechanism allows the drill to maneuver effortlessly through tight underground spaces, improving positioning speed and overall operational efficiency.
The dual-boom configuration, with independent hydraulic power sources, ensures maximum uptime. Drilling operations can continue with one boom fully operational if the other is temporarily offline, preventing unnecessary delays.
A unique rollover mechanism gives the SQTD-LP a distinct advantage when drilling footholes and lifter holes, improving accuracy and reducing repositioning time.
With an extended boom working range of 1.6 to 5 metres, the SQTD-LP can handle a wide variety of stope and development heights. This capability enables consistent depth control and parallel drilling, ensuring effective and reliable blasting results.

Cost-Effective by Design
The dual-boom configuration allows drilling operations to be completed significantly faster, ensuring that daily development targets are consistently achieved and reducing overall cycle time.
A structured scheduled maintenance programme ensures servicing and repairs are carried out proactively. With serviceable components designed for on-site maintenance and replacement, downtime is drastically reduced and machine availability is maximized.
The SQDT-LP, along with all major serviceable components, is locally manufactured by GST. This minimizes reliance on imported parts, eliminates long lead times, and ensures rapid access to spares when needed on site.
Thanks to its innovative, purpose-built design, the SQDT-LP delivers exceptional performance with lower operating and maintenance costs, making it one of the most cost-effective underground drill rigs available on the market.
