The new LS450 drill is a compact rig perfect for various environmental, geotechnical, water, and mining projects. Featuring the power and precision of the large-format series rigs, the LS450 brings our innovative head technology to an industry-proven compact, track-mounted platform.

The LS450 features a rod presenter where rod and casing can be loaded horizontally, and an actuator then presents the rod and casing vertically to the head. The head rotates 28 degrees to the side for sample extraction. Head slide shift allows for unobstructed winch use down the hole.

Perfect for small drill pads, environmentally sensitive areas, or hard-to-reach sites. Short mast option available for low overhead clearance applications.

Pilot operated hydraulic system is easy to operate and maintain.

Patented airbag system isolates the vibration from the rig and transfers it down the hole for more efficient drilling.

Manufactured from lightweight materials, the Mag-Grip is as light as simple lifters and 50% lighter than other magnetic lifting mechanisms on the market. Five sets of magnets pack a strong grip with exceptional hold on thin steel and round surfaces. Safely pick up sharp or dirty tubing without touching it. Hands and fingers are kept safe because pinch points are eliminated.

Mag-Grip’s patented design takes advantage of active shunting technology to create true ON/OFF states all without the use of an electrical power source. Utilizing powerful magnets, the magnetic field is controlled by a simple 180-degree turn of a handle. To activate the magnets, turn to ON and the magnets immediately align and lock onto the steel pipe. A built-in detent resists against accidental release. Switch to OFF and the magnetic poles cancel and release.

The new Mag-Grip Rod Lifter is an innovative lifting tool offered exclusively by Boart Longyear. Knowing the rigors drilling crews go through when moving tubing, this tool is designed to lift and handle pipe, rods, casings, and tubes in a much safer and easier way.

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
The Mag-Grip’s ON/OFF magnet switch is designed to control the magnetic field with active shunting which turns off completely to eliminate accumulation of particles and dirt. Other solutions on the market may actually permanently attract dirt. Mag-Grip is easily actuated and suitable for mechanical actuation.

LIGHTWEIGHT
Mag-Grip is no heavier than passive solutions and 50% lighter than other magnetic solutions, making it easier to hold under load.

ERGONOMIC PIVOTING HANDLE
The handle is designed to pivot, preventing accidental twist off and allowing for a more comfortable hold. Easily change the handle from fixed to pivoting and vice-versa, simply by tightening or loosening the set-screw.

DESIGNED FOR OPTIMAL STRENGTH
To maximize holding strength, the housing is especially designed to follow the curve of tubing, offering a much higher strength/pull on thick and thin materials. The housing is also grooved to easily and accurately align along the pipe axis.

CE CERTIFIED
The Mag-Grip Rod Lifter conforms with health, safety, and environmental protection standards. Order two or more to safely transport long pipes around site, transfer from storage racks to vehicles, or when moving to the rig for drilling operations.

The LS250 MiniSonic is CE compliant, featuring an interlocked rotation barrier which slows the head rotation when open for enhanced safety.

The LS250 features a rod presenter where rod and casing can be loaded horizontally and an actuator then presents the rod and casing vertically to the head. The head rotates 28 degrees to the side for sample extraction. Head slide shift allows for unobstructed winch use down the hole.

Fits in a shipping container, making the LS250 MiniSonic perfect for small drill pads, environmentally sensitive areas, or hard to reach sites. Short mast option available for low overhead clearance applications.

Use of selected high-quality precision steels and several special heat treat processes provides excellent stability, straightness, and wear-resistance of the drill string assembly.

The sophisticated thread design and optimized weight distribution on all of the tooling provide optimum transfer of the high-frequency resonant energy from the sonic head down to the drill bit.

In-house engineering and extensive field testing ultimately result in superior drilling outcomes and performance for optimized penetration rates and straighter holes.
