Center Rock Inc. is recognized as the leader in the design, manufacture and application of the LP Drill®. LP Drills® are comprised of multiple DTH hammers housed in a low-profile canister and each hammer is outfitted with a carbide button bit. Compressed air is supplied to the canister drill to both cycle the pistons in the DTH hammers and provide hole cleaning. Rotation must also be provided with a Kelley bar or drill rod utilizing a side inlet swivel, or with a Center Rock rotating ratchet attachment.

As today’s construction market continues to demand solutions to large diameter drilling projects, Center Rock responds to the challenge. The new XLP Drill^TM is our latest canister design with many notable features differentiating it from its’ predecessor as well as any competition. The XLP Drill^TM is 12” (0.3m) shorter than the LP Drill® with total height of 48” (1.22m), making it the lowest profile canister drill. The XLP^TM integrates the newly introduced, high-frequency, RX®80LP DTH hammer with integrated air selectors to ensure maximum productivity with available air. Lastly, the XLP Drill^TM utilizes 10” (0.25m) diameter RX® bits with the most robust shank and greatest cross section of any 8” (0.2m) class bit shank.
