RIB DRILLS

Clarks Mining Services manufactures high-performance rib drills designed specifically for drilling into the ribs (sidewalls) of underground roadways and tunnels. Built for precision, safety, and ease of use in confined spaces, our rib drills are essential for installing roof support systems, gas drainage holes, and instrumentation boreholes.

Engineered to operate in narrow headings, Clarks rib drills are compact, lightweight, and can be quickly deployed and repositioned by a single operator. With options for air-powered operation and integrated safety features, these drills deliver consistent performance and penetration even in challenging ground conditions.

Whether used in coal mines, metalliferous environments, or civil tunnelling projects, our rib drills are trusted for their durability, directional control, and compliance with Australian mining standards. Backed by Clarks’ extensive experience in underground equipment, these drills offer a reliable solution for rib support and development drilling tasks across Australia and New Zealand.
