SPD SP406 Rod & Casing Handler

The SPD SP406 Rod & Casing Handler is a heavy-duty hydraulic manipulator designed to safely and efficiently handle drill rods, casings, and tooling on foundation drilling projects. Featuring a double-grab system with an integrated hydraulic spinner, the SP406 minimizes manual handling while improving jobsite safety, productivity, and drilling efficiency. Compatible with excavators and drilling rigs, the SP406 streamlines rod and casing changes for applications including micropiling, DTH drilling, anchoring, and geotechnical construction. With the ability to handle tooling up to 12 meters (39 ft) in length and 5,000 kg (11,023 lbs), the SP406 is built to withstand demanding jobsite conditions while maximizing operator control and efficiency.
