Little Beaver, a manufacturer of drilling equipment, is rolling out a new heavy-duty geotechnical drilling rig — the Lone Star LST1. The LST1G+HD drills to 100 feet with an optional 4.25-inch hollow stem auger.
“Last year, a New Zealand university needed a quality drill with enough torque to reach depths of 100 feet for academic soil testing,” says Joe Haynes, Lone Star Drills’ president. “Power and durability were a must to take on this kind of challenge time and time again. We saw this as an opportunity not only to help one customer, but to open up opportunities for future customers in new applications.”
