When it comes to drilling performance, your rock drill and drifter are the backbone of the operation. Choosing OEM equipment and maintaining it properly can make the difference between steady production and unexpected downtime.
At Traxxon, we’re proud to support the full line of Sandvik rock drills, offering proven reliability, precision engineering, and long-term performance in the toughest conditions. Combined with our in-house service expertise, we help customers keep their drilling systems operating efficiently, day after day, hole after hole.
Why OEM Equipment Matters
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) rock drills are designed and tested to meet exact specifications. Every component, from pistons to sealing systems, works together to maintain balance, impact energy, and efficiency. Aftermarket alternatives often compromise on fit and material quality, leading to premature wear or failure.
With OEM Sandvik equipment, you’re guaranteed:
Precision engineering for maximum drilling accuracy
Optimized energy transfer for higher penetration rates
Extended component life and consistent performance
Full compatibility with OEM parts and accessories
By investing in OEM quality, you’re not just buying equipment, you’re protecting your productivity and your investment.
Drifter Maintenance: Protecting Your Productivity
Even the most advanced drifters require regular maintenance to stay in top form. Over time, wear on components like pistons, bushings, and seals can affect performance and lead to costly downtime if not addressed early.
Our Service Department offers full drifter inspections, reseals, and rebuilds, following strict OEM standards. Using only genuine Sandvik parts ensures that your drifter maintains its original performance and efficiency.
Routine maintenance benefits include:
Reduced vibration and smoother operation
Improved drilling precision and speed
Lower long-term operating costs
Prevention of catastrophic failures
Complete Support, From Parts to Field Service
Beyond equipment supply, Traxxon provides comprehensive support for all your rock drilling needs. We carry genuine Sandvik parts, lubricants, and accessories to extend component life and maintain reliability in harsh conditions.
Whether you need a simple reseal kit, a full rebuild, or on-site diagnostic assistance, our goal is to keep your drilling operation running at full capacity.
