Frequently Asked Questions

What are the technical specifications of the GS1600-LS?

The GS1600-LS is a 160-ton class hydraulic directional drill delivering 1,700KN pullback force with 78,000Nm rotational torque. Powered by a 316kW engine, this precision HDD machine is engineered for demanding trenchless technology applications requiring high accuracy and reliability.

What hydraulic system does the GS1600-LS utilize?

The GS1600-LS features a Hengli closed-circuit hydraulic pump system integrated with German electric proportional variable motors. This configuration provides precision control for operations requiring millimeter-level accuracy beneath airports, highways, and critical infrastructure.

What is the rotatable cab feature on the GS1600-LS?

The rotatable air-conditioned operator cab provides panoramic visibility across the drilling area. This design allows operators to maintain direct sightlines during complex directional drilling operations and extended campaigns on underground utility projects.

What is CEGC's patented rotary manipulator technology?

The GS1600-LS incorporates patented rotary manipulator technology that automates drill string handling operations. This system reduces manual labor requirements and improves operational safety on trenchless construction sites.

What is the low-center clamp design on this horizontal directional drill?

The unique low-center clamp with separable functionality reduces required drilling length and conserves construction space. This design is particularly valuable for constrained urban sites where positioning and footprint are critical factors.
