35 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® JANUARY 2015 A New Generation of Old-Fashioned Quality adapted from Information Provided by acker Drill Co. For several decades, Acker Drill’s objective has been to provide contrac- tors with reliable, high-performance equipment that will last a lifetime. This is something that will never change. It is not uncommon for them to receive calls from satisfied customers all over the world who praise their products, quality, and reliability, some of whom have had an Acker drill unit in service for over 40 years. This is the biggest testament to the company’s continued growth and success. Throughout the past decade, their engineers and staff have worked to design and manufacture a new gener- ation of drill units. As a result, they have introduced modern hydraulic units such as the SOIL-XLS and SOIL-SCOUT, appealing to today’s drilling profession- als. The SOIL-SCOUT was Acker’s most compact rotary drill on tracks at the time it was introduced. This “limited- access” unit offers unprecedented ver- satility and power. The versatile and reliable SOIL-XLS, another popular choice, is designed to handle the re- quirements of virtually any job. Inspired by the success of these units, Acker decided it was time to up the ante. The first result of their efforts was the Acker RENEGADE. A big broth- er to the SOIL-XLS, the RENEGADE has quickly become a favorite to con- tractors all over the world. As the com- pany’s premiere multipurpose drill unit, it is practically suited for any job under any condition. With Acker’s time-tested and field-proven drill head, you are get- ting the best of both worlds in terms of “high torque” for auger drilling, and “high RPM” for coring work. This takes power and versatility to the next level. You can expect it to excel in coring, augering, standard penetration testing, probing, and reverse circulation applications. TheAcker R.A.D. (RestrictedAccess Drill) is an all-hydraulic drill unit specif- ically designed for fast and economical soil investigation, groundwater moni- “We at acker know our roots.” The acker REnEGaDE "0",-" - 0 &' '" &) (*-. -&2"- )! )/( ", *# ' !"- "1 -"! &.- *'" +")",- , $ &.- &)$- ((",- ((", &.- &0",.",- " .&++&)$ . &'&2",- ' 1 &.- &+" &+"- *'. *) "".% / - * &'" &. *&) ,*! %*.( &' *( 111 &. *&) /- toring, and core drilling with multiple mast sections for easy access in the most confined spaces.
