Jackleg Drill (Pusher Leg Rock Drill) for Underground Mining Operations
A Jackleg drill (also known as Perforadora Jackleg in spanish) is a lightweight, pneumatic rock drilling machine widely used in underground mining, tunneling, quarrying, and construction. Known for its portability and efficiency, the jackleg drill is designed for horizontal and upward drilling in confined spaces where larger drilling equipment cannot operate effectively.
The Jackleg Rock Drill supported by an extendable air-powered leg (the “jackleg”) also known as pusher leg, provides thrust against the rock surface. It operates using compressed air and is typically paired with drill steels and rock drill bits to create blast holes, anchor holes, or utility penetrations in hard rock formations.
