More Drill.

Less Mobilization.

Compact, Capable and Easy To Put To Work.

The Drill Sergeant Series turns a skid steer or compact excavator into a drilling machine for smaller foundations, restricted-access work, and projects where a conventional rig is more equipment than the job requires. Both versions offer 8,000 ft-lb of torque, up to 25 feet of drilling depth and up to 36-inch hole diameter, with the excavator-mounted model adding greater reach and swing.

Every TRt is configured around how the rig needs to travel, set up, and drill. From truck type and mast height to Kelly bars, winch setup, hydraulics, and controls, each build is matched to the work it needs to handle. Whether the priority is deeper drilling, easier mobilization, tighter setup, or a specific truck platform, the TRt is built around the job instead of asking the crew to work around the rig.

The goal is not simply to put a drill on a truck. It is to build a drilling rig that is ready to move when the work does.

rotary

Choose from a range of Bay Shore-designed and manufactured rotary gearboxes, with torque capacities from 25,000 to 98,000 ft-lb.

Winch

Match the kelly winch to the drilling depth, single-layer line pull up to 25,000 lbs or high-speed applications on select models.

Kelly Bars

Select from round-locking or square friction kelly bars in configurations designed around the required drilling depth and ground conditions.

Mast

From extended masts for up to 80 feet of drilling depth to short-mast configurations for severely restricted overhead clearance, Bay Shore Systems offers a range of options to build the rig around the job's demands.

Truck

Different kinds, sizes, 6x6, 4 axle
