THE ZEROTRIP WEDGE

The Zero-Trip Wedge is a more efficient counterpart to a standard wedge, as it allows the drill crew to wedge off the mother borehole without multiple trips.

It eliminates the need to trip rods in and out of the borehole for no reason. This greatly reduces the risk of injury to drill crews. It also lessens the need for borehole additives to help maintain the integrity of the borehole, which means greater productivity with less risk of losing the drill hole.

The wedge is attached to the core barrel and the anchors are locked in place by adding water pressure.

Features:

Improved health and safety

Significantly less wear and tear on drill rig/equipment

Helps maintain borehole integrity

Orient in any direction, on the surface or underground

Easily lowered on the end of a core barrel

Fewer shifts needed

Available in NQ, HQ and PQ sizes

Timesaving 5-step installation alleviates the need for multiple rod trips

Health & safety benefits you can see:

Significantly reduce the risk of injury to drill crews (4x safer than Hall-Rowe wedges)

Slip and trip incidents are reduced by eliminating the repetitive risks associated with tripping rods

Manual handling risks and injuries, such as back strains and finger pinches, are greatly decreased

FEATURES

ADDING EFFICIENCY, RELIABILITY AND SAFETY = SAVING TIME AND MONEY
