INTRODUCTION
A hydraulic drifter, also called hydraulic rock drill or Top Hammer, is a powerful equipment which combines a rotation and a percussion system, designed to drill holes in rock or in the ground. Hydraulic drifters are typically used in the quarries or mining industry to drill bast holes. Drifters are in use for Underground Mining, Bolting, Tunnelling as well as Surface Drilling, anchoring or Special Applications.
A drifter is able to drill holes up to 152mm diameter and up to 40 meters depth in hard materials, rocks or concrete structures. Hydraulic drifters can be fit on jumbo drill, crawler drill, bolter drills, long-hole drill, shaft jumbo drill, surface drill, wagon drill, tunnelling drill. Roxar drifters are optimized for Underground Mining, Bolting, Tunnelling as well as Surface Drilling, anchoring or Special Applications.

The drifter is placed on rail. This rail is also called feed, or rig. The drill travels on the rail, or drifts. This kind of drilling procedure is also called drifting. The feed is usually attached with a boom to the rock drilling machine. Rock-drills are fitted on a carrier or drilling equipment like:
- Rock drilling machine.
- Mining drilling jumbo, also called jumbo drill.
- Tunnelling jumbo, also called tunnelling drill.
- Surface crawler drill.
- Different kinds of drill rigs.
- Bolter drill, longhole drill, shaft jumbo drill, wagon drill.
- It can be adapted as a drilling attachment on an excavator, a skid steer or a backhoe loader.
