Boart Longyear announces the North American launch of SuperQ™ Coring Rods, a breakthrough upgrade to the industry-standard Q® wireline system. Designed and manufactured in the USA with global distribution, SuperQ rods deliver stronger joints, easier threading, and improved safety, while maintaining 100% compatibility with existing Q tooling.
With local inventory across the U.S. and Canada and rapid delivery, contractors and mine operators can count on immediate access to SuperQ.
SuperQ Coring Rods are engineered as a drop-in replacement for existing Q rods, introducing a new feature set without requiring changes to rigs, tooling, or accessories. Customers can seamlessly upgrade to “SuperQ-enabled” status without operational disruption.
“SuperQ isn’t a new system; it’s a smarter version of the one drillers already trust,” said Chris Lambert, Global Wireline Product Manager at Boart Longyear. “By making SuperQ fully compatible with existing Q tooling, we’ve eliminated the barriers to adoption. Drillers gain stronger joints, easier threading, and improved safety all at the same price as standard Q rods.”
Key Benefits of SuperQ Coring Rods:
- 100% Q-Compatible – No new tooling, rigs, or accessories required.
- Upgraded Performance – Enhanced joint strength, faster and easier threading, and improved safety features.
- Inventory Simplification – Replaces Q and MO rods, reducing inventory complexity.
- Premium Performance, Standard Pricing – Consolidated pricing delivers SuperQ performance at the cost of base Q rods.

The launch of SuperQ is supported by Boart Longyear’s global manufacturing and distribution footprint, ensuring local inventory in key markets and immediate availability.
“SuperQ represents Boart Longyear’s commitment to constant innovation and solving real challenges for drillers while protecting their investment in trusted systems,” added Mr. Lambert. “This product raises the bar for rod performance, and we believe it will set the new standard for exploration drilling worldwide.”
