Semi Autonomous Drill Rod Handler for Crane Trucks
The Semi-Autonomous Drill Rod Handler works with a range of Plantman Equipment Crane Trucks together with a high-quality Hiab Crane providing a safe and efficient answer to all your Blast Hole Drill Rod Handling requirements.
The drill handler has been designed with versatility in mind allowing the Operator to pick up drill pipe/rods from almost any position around the truck and then position it to engage the Rotary Head.
Unique Gripping Jaw Technology
The Ezyload attachment uses eight pairs of Gripping Jaws that work independently of each other to hold the drill pipe/rod securely in place.
Mechanically stored energy is used to hold each jaw closed, and requires system pressure to open the jaws and release the drill rod. The Release Mechanism cannot be accessed from the Remote Control Unit, removing the chance of accidental release.

Now that I’ve found Plantman and they’re local which is a bonus, I won’t need to look elsewhere. They also have an extensive range of equipment that suits our requirements for servicing the mining industry. I have no hesitation in recommending Plantman to any of our clients. Well Done!!!
