The LM PQ builds off the already popular LM110 and Nitro-Chuck™ platforms with the addition of a  PQ drill head. The drill allows a 50% increase in drilling depth for NQ-size drill bits. As with all LM drills, the rig can be operated remotely via the DCi™ (Drill Control Interface) and supplied with a rod handler for enhanced safety. This drastically reduces the driller’s exposure to hand injuries, one of the drilling operator’s biggest risks. When paired together, drillers can use semi-autonomous drill routines during breaks and shift changes, which have been found to increase productivity by up to 14%.
