The HX Series Hybrid Drilling Attachments from WORD Rock Drills are engineered to maximize productivity, versatility, and return on investment for contractors performing small hole drilling (1”–12”). Designed to work with both skid steer loaders and excavators, the HX Series gives operators the flexibility to use the carrier already on their jobsite while maintaining the performance needed for demanding drilling applications.
With a hybrid mounting design, the HX Series allows contractors to quickly switch between compatible carriers, reducing equipment costs and mobilization time while improving overall jobsite efficiency.
Versatile Drilling Performance
The HX Series supports multiple drilling methods, making it a powerful solution for a wide range of construction, foundation, and infrastructure projects.
Key drilling capabilities include:
- Down-the-hole (DTH) drilling for holes up to 12 inches in diameter
- Hydraulic rotary drilling
- Hydraulic percussion drilling
- High torque drilling for ground screw installation
- Hollow bar installation for geotechnical and anchoring applications
Because the HX Series is compatible with all standard WORD drill heads, contractors can configure the attachment for the specific drilling method required without investing in entirely new equipment.
More About the HX Drilling Series
Operator productivity is a major focus of the HX Series design. The attachment features user-friendly remote controls that allow operators to manage drilling functions efficiently while maintaining better visibility and control on the jobsite. When operating as an excavator attachment, utilizing the remote control allows for single-operator drilling, reducing overhead cost and man-hours.
This streamlined control system helps reduce operator fatigue, improve drilling precision, and increase overall drilling output.
The HX Series is designed for standard or high-flow skid steers and excavator carriers, giving contractors greater flexibility when selecting equipment for a project.
Benefits of the hybrid mounting system include:
- Ability to utilize existing skid steer or excavator fleets
- Faster equipment mobilization between jobsites
- Reduced need for dedicated drilling rigs
- Lower overall equipment investment
- Easier transition between rental equipment
This flexibility makes the HX Series ideal for contractors performing fencing, solar foundation installation, utility work, geotechnical drilling, ground anchoring, and more.
By combining multiple drilling capabilities in one compact attachment, the HX Series allows contractors to perform more drilling applications with fewer machines. The result is higher equipment utilization, lower operating costs, and improved profitability across a wide range of drilling projects.
