McL-10 pit launch drills from McLaughlin are available in two models. The 5-foot model can be used on limited-access job sites and smaller entry pits, such as downtown areas that cannot be accessed with traditional surface-launch directional drills. The 7-foot model is suited for projects with more access, and offers enhanced productivity with less making and breaking of rods. Both have 1,030 ft-lbs of torque and 13,250 pounds of pullback. They use a standard locator transmitter beacon, HDD drill head and HDD tooling. A mud-mixing system and hydraulic power pack accessories are available. 800/435-9340; www.mclaughlinunderground.com.
