Compact HDD Machines
Compact HDD machines are designed for trenchless utility work where access, machine size and available working space are limited. Their smaller footprint makes them suitable for residential, urban and developed areas where larger HDD rigs may be difficult to position. Synergy Rigs Zimbabwe supplies compact HDD machines for water, fibre, electrical and other underground utility installations. Machine capacity can be matched to bore length, product diameter, pullback requirements, ground conditions and site constraints.
