Some frequently asked questions.
What are the fundamental differences between T4 and T5 hydraulic coring machines?
The Xcalibre T4 is less than 750 Kgs, when fully loaded, so in the UK it can be towed on an ordinary driving licence.
Has max 220 litres of water.
One person could easily operate a T4 alone.
Designed as the perfect sampling machine.
Core up to 350mm.
The Xcalibre T5 is 1350 Kgs so needs an additional licence in the UK.
Has max 450 litres of water, so a heavier duty machine.
We would recommend two persons to operate the machine safely.
Cores up to 800mm.
Both have machines have remote handset controls.

Swimming pool repair with our underwater drilling
Our drills can even be used underwater, ideal for swimming pool repairs and eliminating the need to drain the pool.
Underwater drilling can save you time and money on this project to drain the pool would have taken 2 days!
Blackfriars Underpass, London
City of London's Blackfriars Underpass (A3211) was having a new road surface and a new type Cat Eyes (LED reflectors).
The replacement work could only take place during night hours. On the first night a new record was acheived which was to core a total of 60 holes Ø 107 mm x 55 mm (4” dia x 2.1”) into asphalt in only 2 hours. This milestone was only achievable with the highly mobile Simplex core drill stand with a hydraulic minidrill motor.
