Introducing Versa-Drill’s Next Generation Rod Handling System
This year, Versa-Drill is set to launch an all-new drill rod handling system—designed specifically for the V-140TRX. This innovative, next-generation system has been built to meet the evolving demands of the geothermal market and represents a major step forward in efficiency and performance. This means, ultimately, giving operators more control, more capacity, and faster operation in the field.
Here’s how:
Built for Efficiency
Featuring an impressive storage capacity of up to 1,000 feet of 3.5” x 20' drill rod— the new rod handling doubles the capacity of Versa-Drill’s current system and outperforms the competition.
With this increased onboard storage, crews can stay productive longer without interruptions, reducing downtime and maximizing drilling efficiency on every job.
Faster Operation in the Field
Speed matters. And this redesigned system delivers just that. By improving how drill rods are stored, accessed, and handled, Versa-Drill has engineered a system that significantly increases operational speed.
The result? Smoother workflows, faster cycle times, and more productive drilling days.
Manual or Automatic Control
Flexibility is at the core of this innovation. Operators will have the ability to handle drill rods either manually or automatically, depending on jobsite needs and personal preference.
This dual-control capability allows for:
Greater precision
Increased automation for efficiency
Improved ease of use for operators of all experience levels
Designed for the Future of Geothermal Drilling
As geothermal demand continues to grow, so does the need for smarter, more capable equipment. This new rod handling system was engineered with that future in mind—supporting deeper, more efficient drilling while keeping operator experience front and center.
The new rod handling system is purpose-built and field-driven. And more importantly—available only from Versa-Drill.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the 2026 launch.
