Spider Excavator Drilling

Specialist Spider excavator drilling solutions for safe, efficient ground support in large open pit mines.

Spider excavators give our teams the ability to carry out drilling and stabilisation works in steep, unstable, or otherwise inaccessible areas of large open pit mines. Designed to “walk” across challenging terrain, the Spider provides safe mobility where conventional rigs cannot operate. Equipped for drilling anchors, nails, and rock bolts, the Spider combines slope mobility with drilling capacity, reducing manual handling exposure and improving efficiency for mining operations.


Benefits:

  • Enables drilling in steep, unstable, or restricted pit slopes

  • Provides safe access without reliance on cranes or extensive benching

  • Reduces manual handling risks by drilling directly from the machine

  • Improves efficiency for anchor, bolt, and nail installation in LOP environments

  • Proven track record on major mining ground support programs
