Here’s how this innovation is helping drillers do more with less — faster, safer, and smarter.
Tackling Tight Spaces with 360° Precision
Drillers know the headache of working in residential backyards, urban developments, or confined commercial lots. Depending on the job site, a traditional rig might require multiple moves to complete bore fields — a time-consuming, labor-heavy process.
The Fraste ML Max solves this with a slewing ring allowing for full 360-degree rotation. Crews can now hit multiple bore locations without repositioning the rig, reducing:
- Set-up time
- Site disruption
- Labor intensity
According to Fraste, this feature offers “maximum maneuverability giving greater productivity on any type of construction site,” and it’s already proving its worth across geothermal and environmental projects. [Source]
Real-World Benefits for Geothermal Installers
Whether it’s drilling vertically or at an angle, the slewing ring allows operators to work in a tight radius without compromising drill accuracy or productivity. For operators drilling with the FRASTE ML MAX, that means:
- Completing geothermal fields from a fewer setup points
- Avoiding time lost to leveling and re-staging
- Minimizing surface damage due to relocating the drill rig
From residential to commercial installs, the ML Max makes our crews faster, more versatile, and more competitive.
Less Movement. More Production.
We’ve seen the payoff firsthand. By staying in one spot and rotating the mast to each new bore, we’ve increased daily production while lowering the wear and tear on our rigs.
The result?
- More holes per day
- Lower operating costs
- Improved jobsite safety
- Cleaner installations
And because this system is integrated into the proven Fraste ML Max platform, you’re not trading power for flexibility — you’re getting both.
When every square foot counts and every borehole matters, the Fraste ML Max slewing ring helps crews drill smarter. If you’re in the geothermal game and looking to maximize results in minimal space, this is the kind of innovation worth drilling into.
