GLADIATOR G100 HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILL

   The Gladiator G100 is the flagship standard model in the Gladiator HDD lineup — a high-performance Horizontal Directional Drill delivering 100,838 LBS of thrust and pullback force at 213.25 FT/MIN. Powered by a 260 HP Cummins engine and producing 14,013 FT-LBS of torque, the G100 is engineered for contractors taking on the most demanding infrastructure projects: oil and gas pipeline crossings, large-diameter utility installations, crossings up to 2,624 FT, and any application where maximum power and endurance are non-negotiable.

Weighing 46,297 lbs and measuring 354 in L × 99 in W × 103 in H, the G100 is a full-size, heavy-duty HDD machine equipped with a 20-foot rod rack with loader arms, 175 GPM @ 1160 PSI fluid system, and a suggested reaming diameter of up to 47.24 inches — making it the most capable standard production model in the Gladiator lineup.

 The G100 delivers 100,838 LBS of thrust and pullback at 213.25 FT/MIN, with a rotary torque of 14,013 FT-LBS. The fluid system operates at 175 GPM @ 1160 PSI with a rotation speed of 192 RPM. Entry angle is 21 degrees, with a suggested crossing length of up to 2,624 FT and a suggested reaming diameter of up to 47.24 inches. 

 The G100 features a 12-rod onboard rack plus a full 20-foot rod rack with loader arms, using 3.50 × 181.1 inch drill rods — the largest rod format in the Gladiator lineup, matched to the G100's high-torque, high-force drilling demands. The integrated loader arm system streamlines rod handling operations on large-scale bore campaigns. 

 The G100 is built with a steel hood and a 20-foot rod rack with loader arms as standard. Onboard systems include auto anchor, mud flow adjust, and shut-off valves. The safety package covers antifreeze tank, strike alert, and seat sensor — providing comprehensive operator and equipment protection on every bore. 

 The rotating cab keeps operators ergonomically positioned and comfortable across extended drilling shifts.  The G100 is operated via wireless remote with hydraulic lockout shut-off — giving operators precise, safe command of all drilling functions across the full 100,000+ LBS force range. 

     The Gladiator G100 is engineered for: oil and gas transmission pipeline crossings, large-diameter municipal water and sewer main installations, major highway and freeway HDD crossings, long-distance trenchless bores up to 2,624 FT in hard or mixed soil conditions, power transmission and large conduit projects, and any application requiring 100,000+ LBS of directional drilling capability with a proven 260 HP Cummins powerplant. 

    For projects requiring force beyond 100,000 LBS — up to 2.5 million lbs — Gladiator HDD offers fully custom-engineered drill solutions. Contact Gladiator HDD directly to discuss your project requirements and available custom build options.
