Gopher & Gopher Fatboy

The Alminco Gopher and Alminco Gopher Fatboy are air-powered roof-bolting and drilling solutions for use in mining and civil applications. They are manufactured from modern engineering composite materials, advanced plastics and steel components to minimise weight without compromising strength. The Gopher series can be carried by one person and is quickly deployed underground, even in a restricted space.

The Gopher Fatboy has a large diameter leg (LDL) to maximise thrust, allowing superior drilling rates and fast bolt placement times. In low air pressure, extra thrust allows the bolting cycle to proceed as normal. Alminco Gopher and Gopher Fatboy come in over twenty size, leg, and chuck combinations to suit your specific needs.
