Forged HDD Drill Rod Construction
Double Horse HDD drill rods are manufactured using one-piece forged construction, providing a strong and durable rod designed to withstand the repeated loads experienced during horizontal directional drilling.
The rods are manufactured from high-strength alloy steel and are designed for the demanding torque, tensile forces and impact associated with HDD drilling.
High-Strength Alloy Steel
The forged alloy steel construction provides the strength and toughness required for demanding directional drilling applications.
Precision-Engineered Threaded Connections
The threaded connections are designed for high-torque HDD applications, providing a reliable connection between individual drill rods during drilling.
Double-Shouldered Design
The double-shouldered connection design enhances connection performance while maintaining a large inside diameter to support efficient drilling fluid flow through the rod string.
High Strength & Toughness
Double Horse HDD drill rods are designed to provide high strength and toughness during demanding horizontal directional drilling operations. Their tensile properties comply with Grade Z140 requirements outlined in directional drilling standards, while Charpy V-notch impact energy exceeds the relevant directional drilling standards.
Why Choose Forged HDD Drill Rods?
Drill rods are one of the most heavily loaded components of an HDD drill string. During drilling, they are exposed to torque, thrust, tensile forces and repeated loading.
Using properly manufactured HDD drill rods designed for your drilling equipment helps provide reliable performance throughout the drilling process.
Our Ditch Witch® compatible drill rods offer:
- One-piece forged construction for strength and durability
- High-strength alloy steel for demanding HDD applications
- Precision-engineered threaded connections for reliable rod connections
- Double-shouldered design for improved connection performance
- Large internal diameter to support drilling fluid flow
- High strength and toughness for demanding directional drilling conditions
- Compatibility with selected Ditch Witch® JT-series drill rigs
What Are HDD Drill Rods Used For?
HDD drill rods connect the drill head and downhole tooling to the horizontal directional drilling rig. They transmit the torque and thrust generated by the drill rig through the drill string while providing a passage for drilling fluid.
During a typical HDD installation, multiple drill rods are connected together as the pilot bore progresses. The rods therefore need to withstand repeated loading while maintaining reliable threaded connections throughout the drilling operation.
How to Choose the Right Ditch Witch® Drill Rod
The correct drill rod depends on several factors, including your Ditch Witch® drill rig model, rod dimensions, threaded connection and drilling application.
Before ordering replacement or additional HDD drill rods, confirm:
- Your Ditch Witch® drill rig model
- Existing drill rod size and connection
- Required rod length and specifications
- The type of HDD work being performed
- Compatibility with your existing drill string and tooling
If you are unsure which drill rod is suitable for your machine, contact No Dig Equipment before ordering. Our team can help confirm the appropriate option based on your equipment requirements.
