Montabert hydraulic drifters are purpose-built for both surface and underground drilling work, offering dependable performance across everything from dimensional stone and benching to rock bolting, long-hole drilling and classic drill-and-blast operations. Their hydraulic systems transmit shock energy efficiently while adjusting to geological conditions, delivering strong penetration and consistent drilling speeds. Whether a job requires compact equipment for confined headings or high-energy output for large-diameter holes, the range is designed to maintain efficiency in any configuration.
The design of the drifter line focuses squarely on longevity and low operating costs. Efficient shock-wave transmission reduces wear on rods, bits and shanks, keeping consumable costs down over long drilling campaigns. Protective features such as hydraulic stops, reinforced components, intrusion-resistant housings and high-frequency systems help guard against premature wear while ensuring reliability in demanding environments. These durability gains contribute directly to achieving a lower cost per metre drilled, even in hard rock or high-stress conditions.
Montabert drifters are engineered for broad compatibility and straightforward integration into existing fleets. Their compact bodies, low feed-flow requirements and universal mounting options mean they can be installed on a wide range of carriers without major hydraulic or mechanical modifications. Adjustable frequency and power options allow the drifters to match geological variations on the fly, while maintenance-friendly designs simplify disassembly and reduce downtime. With flexible shank compatibility and dependable performance across both surface and underground settings, the range adapts easily to varied project demands and keeps drilling operations moving smoothly.
