Keeping a drill rig clean does more than make it look good. It helps operators and service technicians see what’s going on and spot potential problems during inspections. Recently, our service team cleaned a unit and found a crack in the feed rail. It’s a great example of why removing dirt and buildup matters: it gives you a clearer view of the machine and the components that work hard every day. Not every issue will be visible, even on a clean machine, but removing dirt and

This September, we marked 25 years of operating as Traxxon Rock Drills with a weekend in Victoria, BC. Our team and their partners came together to celebrate, spend time outside of work, and recognize the people who have helped shape the company. Some headed out golfing, others went whale watching, and some enjoyed time at the spa. Throughout the weekend, we had the opportunity to catch up, share memories and reflect on how far Traxxon has come. While this anniversary celebra

Members of the Traxxon team recently returned from GeoFluid 2026 in Piacenza, Italy, where drilling equipment, industry connections, and a milestone celebration made for a memorable trip. Events like GeoFluid give us the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, spend time with our industry partners, and get a closer look at the equipment and developments shaping the drilling industry. This year was also an opportunity to celebrate Comacchio’s 40th anniversary. Strong rel

On October 14, we welcomed Mining Engineering students from the University of British Columbia to Traxxon for a closer look at some of our equipment and drilling products. The visit offered students an opportunity to see equipment up close and connect their studies with the tools used in the field. For our team, it was a chance to share a practical perspective on drilling and introduce students to the work we do at Traxxon. Mining engineering covers a wide range of discipline

Over the years, our team has answered thousands of these questions. Some come from experienced contractors looking to compare equipment. Others come from companies entering a new market, training new operators, or simply wanting to understand how different systems work before making an investment. We realized something: if one customer is asking a question, chances are dozens of others are wondering the same thing. That's why we created the Traxxon Frequently Asked Questi

Hydraulic hose failures can cause costly downtime on drilling equipment. Learn the warning signs, common causes, and how proper inspections can prevent failures.

In the world of special civil engineering, every project presents a different challenge. One day you're installing sheet piles. The next you're pre-drilling for foundations. Another project may require Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) drilling or soil mixing. Owning a dedicated machine for every application isn't always practical, which is exactly why ABI developed the MOBILRAM TM 22.

Some drilling rigs are built for a specific application. Others are built to adapt. The Comacchio MC15P falls firmly into the second category. That's why we've selected it as our Traxxon Machine of the Month.

When projects demand power, precision, and adaptability, the DELMAG RH 27 delivers. Designed for modern foundation construction, the RH 27 is built to handle a wide range of drilling applications without compromising performance.

There’s an old phrase, “beating swords into plowshares,” about turning tools of war into something constructive. That's exactly what Traxxon did with the T-800H. Components once built for war were being repurposed into something practical and productive in peacetime.

When drilling projects demand mobility, precision, and the ability to operate in tight or challenging environments, the Commando series from Sandvik continues to stand out as an industry leader.

Foundation drilling equipment plays a critical role in constructing stable, long-lasting structures. From deep foundations and retaining systems to micropiles and anchors, the right drilling method, and the right equipment can make or break a project.

Investing in used drilling equipment can be a smart business decision. The key is knowing where the machine came from and who inspected it before it goes to work on your jobsite. At Traxxon, we sell used drilling equipment across North America, and every machine is thoroughly inspected by our industry trained mechanics before it leaves our yard.

The Sandvik Ranger DX800 is a top hammer drill rig with an ergonomic cabin and rod handling system. Typical applications are road cutting, pipeline drilling, foundation drilling and production drilling in medium size quarries and open pit mines.
