Gladiator G60 Horizontal Directional Drill

Product Overview

The Gladiator G60 is a large-capacity Horizontal Directional Drill delivering 62,946 FT-LBS of thrust and pullback force — powered by a 202 HP Cummins engine and engineered for contractors taking on major infrastructure projects including large-diameter pipeline crossings, long-distance bores up to 1,312 FT, and heavy-duty industrial utility installations.

Weighing 25,353 lbs and measuring 283.46 in L × 89.37 in W × 94.48 in H, the G60 is a serious large-class HDD rig with 9,219 FT-LBS of torque, 125 GPM @ 1080 PSI fluid capacity, and a dual rack & pinion carriage system — delivering the raw force and sustained performance that demanding trenchless projects require.

Performance Specifications

The G60 delivers 62,946 FT-LBS of thrust and pullback at 213 FT/MIN, with a rotary torque of 9,219 FT-LBS. The fluid system operates at 125 GPM @ 1080 PSI with a rotation speed of 220 RPM. Entry angle is 21 degrees, with a suggested crossing length of up to 1,312 FT and a suggested reaming diameter of up to 39.37 inches.

Rod System

The G60 features a 36-rod onboard rack using 2.87 × 118.11 inch drill rods — the larger rod diameter reflecting the G60's heavy-duty bore class and the higher torque and fluid pressure demands of large-diameter reaming operations.

Construction & Carriage System

The G60 is built with a steel hood, rotating cab, and rod loader arms as standard. The dual rack & pinion carriage system provides smooth, precise force delivery at the full 62,946 FT-LBS class — maintaining bore path accuracy and operator control even in the most demanding ground conditions.

Operator Comfort & Controls

The rotating cab keeps operators ergonomically positioned and comfortable across extended drilling shifts. Wireless remote with hydraulic lockout shut-off provides safe, precise control. Standard systems include auto anchor, mud flow adjust, and shut-off valves. Safety features include antifreeze tank, strike alert, and seat sensor.

Ideal Applications

The Gladiator G60 is purpose-built for: major gas and petroleum pipeline crossings, large-diameter conduit installations for power transmission, trenchless crossings under rivers, railways, and freeways up to 1,312 FT, long-distance horizontal bores in difficult ground conditions, and any project requiring the 60,000+ FT-LBS class with a 202 HP Cummins powerplant.
