Minnich Manufacturing’s series of machine-mounted drills are now available with a number of features engineered to increase safety and productivity in dowel-pin drilling applications, and are available in both hydraulic and pneumatic options.

Primarily used for full-depth repair, or “patchwork,” Minnich Manufacturing offers excavator/backhoe/skid steer-mounted units that are ideal for horizontal patchwork jobs with a relatively long distance between the areas to be drilled. Apart from increased portability, the dowel pin drills also are a safe alternative for operators, eliminating fatigue by utilizing the carrier to transport the drill.

Minnich’s pneumatic machine-mounted drills are powered by a compressor, mounted to the counter-weight of the carrier or in the bucket of a backhoe, offering a self-contained solution for patchwork jobs. Many patchwork jobs require the work to be done in high-traffic areas, which make it of the utmost importance to utilize a highly mobile carrier and drill combination.

Available in either hydraulic or pneumatic versions, Minnich offers a number of different sizes of machine-mounted units to accommodate any application:

• A-2: pneumatic, two-drill unit, 1,250 lb. (567 kg) operating weight
