Horizontal Drill

In the dynamic world of industrial operations, horizontal drilling stands out as a complex activity demanding heightened safety measures. At Stronghold Safety, we understand the intricate balance necessary between maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring the workforce's safety. Our specialized horizontal drill protection products are designed to protect workers, mitigate risks, and optimize productivity.

Understanding the Hazards of Horizontal Drilling

Horizontal drilling, unlike its vertical counterpart, involves directing the drill horizontally into the earth, which introduces several unique challenges:

 Flying Debris: A constant threat, posing risks of injury to workers in proximity.

Mechanical Failures: The increased complexity of the machinery escalates the risk of operational malfunctions.

Uncontrolled Energy Releases: Can lead to accidents if not managed properly.

Recommended Safety Gear During Drilling

To ensure the highest safety standards, it's critical to equip workers with the right gear:

 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Includes hard hats, safety goggles, ear protection, gloves, and slip-resistant boots.

Safety Shields: Helps protect against flying debris and direct impacts.

Clear Signage: Essential for marking hazardous areas and reinforcing safety protocols.

Our Horizontal Drill Protection Products

Designed to safeguard both workers and equipment:

Motor Control Stations with Anti-Restart

These stations play a crucial role in reducing the risk of accidental injuries by preventing unexpected machine start-ups after power disruptions. This feature ensures that drills remain inactive until manually restarted, offering an extra layer of safety in critical environments.

Standard Motor Control Stations

Engineered to offer seamless control over drill operations, these stations help in reducing downtime by allowing operators to easily power down and restart machinery. This solution is indispensable in maintaining streamlined operations within fast-paced industrial settings.

Safety Shields

Safety shields act as a protective barrier against debris and inadvertent contact with moving parts. These are especially vital in diverse drilling environments to ensure the safety of workers operating near active machinery.

Power Tool Brakes

Our power tool brakes deliver immediate stopping power, allowing for the rapid cessation of blade movement and energy isolation. This critical feature enhances worker safety, enabling quick intervention during emergency scenarios that may arise in horizontal drilling operations.
