Gladiator G40 Horizontal Directional Drill

The Gladiator G40 specifications showcase a robust mid-range Horizontal Directional Drill designed to deliver 40,465 FT-LBS of thrust and pullback force. This impressive equipment is powered by a 167 HP Cummins engine and is ideal for contractors involved in larger infrastructure projects, specifically utility pipeline installation, major pipeline installations, large-diameter conduit bores, and long crossings up to 984 FT. 

Weighing 21,605 lbs and measuring 267.7 in L × 89 in W × 93.7 in H, the Gladiator G40 significantly enhances weight, capacity, and capability compared to the G30. It features a dual rack & pinion carriage system, a rotating cab, and offers compatibility with both 2.87 and 2.36-inch rod sizes for maximum application flexibility in horizontal directional drilling.

The Gladiator G40 specifications showcase its impressive capabilities, delivering 40,465 FT-LBS of thrust and pullback at 164 FT/MIN, along with a rotary torque of 5,963 FT-LBS. This horizontal directional drilling equipment operates with a fluid system at 66 GPM @ 1080 PSI and a rotation speed of 220 RPM. With an entry angle of 21 degrees, it is suitable for utility pipeline installation, accommodating a suggested crossing length of up to 984 FT and a reaming diameter of up to 31.49 inches.

The Gladiator G40 specifications include a robust 40-rod onboard rack that accommodates both 2.87 and 2.36 × 118.11 inch drill rods. This design provides operators the flexibility to select rods based on varying soil conditions and bore requirements, making the G40 a standout in the realm of horizontal directional drilling equipment. Additionally, the dual rod size compatibility represents a significant advantage over smaller models in the lineup, particularly for utility pipeline installation projects.

The Gladiator G40 specifications include a robust steel hood, a rotating cab, and standard rod loader arms. Its dual rack & pinion carriage system ensures smooth, precise force application throughout the full thrust and pullback range. This feature is essential for bore path control during utility pipeline installation on longer, more complex crossings, especially in varied ground conditions, making it a key player in horizontal directional drilling equipment.

The Gladiator G40 specifications highlight a rotating cab that provides operators with optimal visibility and ergonomic comfort during long drilling shifts essential for utility pipeline installation. Its wireless remote, featuring a hydraulic lockout shut-off, ensures safe and precise control over all drilling functions. Standard onboard systems include an auto anchor, mud flow adjust, and shut-off valves, while safety features encompass an antifreeze tank, strike alert, and seat sensor, making it a reliable choice for horizontal directional drilling equipment.

The Gladiator G40 is specifically designed for large-diameter utility pipeline installation projects, conduit bores beneath major roads and highways, and trenchless river and waterway crossings up to 984 FT. This horizontal directional drilling equipment is perfect for telecom and power infrastructure projects and any application that demands 40,000+ FT-LBS class thrust powered by a robust 167 HP Cummins powerplant.

Weight: 21,605 lbs. Dimensions of the Gladiator G40 specifications include a Length of 267.7 in, a Width of 89 in, and a Height of 93.7 in, making it ideal for horizontal directional drilling equipment and utility pipeline installation.
