For any type of drilling or excavation company, having the right equipment to get the job done quickly and effectively is a big consideration. The choice of drill attachment and drifter selected for the job will be a factor of the conditions of the soil and where the drilling will occur.
With any type of drill attachment keeping the big picture for the company in mind is essential, especially for a smaller company that may be trying to grow. Staying on budget and within the equipment purchase allocation while also maximizing your ability to use the specific attachment to continue to make money is a going to be one of the first considerations.
The Manufacturer
There are several different types of drill attachment options and models that are sold through various dealers. In addition, some sellers also offer their own line of drills and equipment.
Both the larger national or international companies and the smaller manufacturers selling into a local or national market can be great choices. Keep in mind when buying directly from the manufacturer there may be the option to customize the drill attachment to meet your specific needs, something that is certainly worth evaluating against the mass produced types of brands and options.
Demands and Jobs
With any type of drill attachment from pneumatic percussion drills to hydraulic rotary heads, there will be a range of tasks or applications that the attachment can be effectively used for.
These can include basic uses such as soil nailing, augering or coring, and it can also include more specific and specialized application such as geothermal drilling, micro piling, blasting or roof bolting.
By thinking ahead to not only what your company is doing now but what you want to be able to offer customers in the future, you will find the right drill attachment for your needs.
New or Used
Finally, there will usually be the option to consider a drill attachment that is new from the manufacturer, or that is a used component that is being sold through a dealer, through an auction, or through a private sale.
While a used drill attachment is going to be less costly, there are other considerations to keep in mind. You won’t know how well maintained the system was, or even how hard the drill was used on the job. You also won’t have any warranty or guarantee, and the life cycle on the part will be much less, giving you less time to have the equipment pay for itself.
