Equipment
Drills
At Hardrock, we currently operate CS10 and CS14 Atlas Copco drill rigs, built for power, reliability, and efficiency. Our philosophy is simple: we run a standardized fleet with fully interchangeable parts. This means more spare parts on hand, less downtime, and smoother operations for both our team and our clients. Our crews can move seamlessly from one job to the next without wasting time learning unfamiliar equipment — they know these drills inside and out.
All our drills are equipped with PQ heads and chucks, giving us the capability to drill PQ core up to 250 meters deep and run HW casing directly through the chuck for maximum efficiency when setting and pulling casing. Each rig runs a dedicated mainline for lifting and lowering rods, improving both safety and efficiency on site by reducing manual handling and lowering the risk of injury.
For remote access projects, we’ve got heli-portable drills ready to tackle rugged terrain and fly-in work, keeping us versatile and prepared for any challenge.
Always looking ahead, Hardrock is actively in discussions with top drill manufacturers, with plans to expand our fleet by adding 2 to 4 new rigs — keeping our equipment modern, our operations sharp, and our clients ahead of the curve.
Bulldozers
We run two identical D7G bulldozers, built tough for road building, site prep, drill moves, and reclamation work. Keeping our fleet consistent means easier maintenance, more spare parts on hand, and less downtime when it counts.
Alongside the D7Gs, we operate a D6 dozer equipped with extra-wide pads that spread its weight across a larger surface area. This design reduces ground pressure, making it the perfect choice for softer soils and muddy terrain. It's not just about power — it’s about working smarter, with less environmental impact and greater efficiency in challenging ground conditions.
At Hardrock, every piece of equipment we run is chosen for reliability, rugged performance, and respect for the land we work on.
Vehicles
Our fleet runs exclusively Ford tough, from the hardworking F-350 diesels — built for hauling heavy trailers and gear — to the nimble F-150s, perfect for crew changes and handling snow, mud, and rugged site conditions. Every truck in our lineup is meticulously maintained and kept on a strict service schedule to ensure reliability, safety, and performance in the field.
Every vehicle rolls out fully equipped with spare tooling, complete safety gear, and a copy of the Hardrock Drilling Safety Manual — because preparation doesn’t happen by accident. Whether it’s a heavy haul or a fast crew switch, our fleet is ready to go, keeping operations moving smoothly no matter the terrain.
Supply Pumps
Just like our drills, every pump in the Hardrock fleet is identical — built for reliability, simplicity, and zero guesswork in the field. We run 3-cylinder Kubota engines paired with 435 Bean pumps and a 4-speed transmission, so our drill crews never have to worry about water supply holding up the job.
These pump units are workhorses: tough, dependable, and low-maintenance. Outside of daily oil checks and weekly servicing, they run strong and steady, keeping water flowing to the drill without a second thought. They're the industry’s most trusted pumps for good reason — reliable, safe, and proven in the harshest conditions.
For flexibility, these pump units can be skid-mounted inside a shack or set up on a small trailer, making them easy to tow behind crew vehicles and reposition as the job demands.
