OUR EQUIPMENT

We have state-of-the-art equipment at Timberline Drilling, Inc. Click the tabs below to view all the different equipment we use on our drilling fleet. We serve locations across the United States wherever drilling needs to be done.

Rod handling and rod presenters allows the drill crew to work from a safer distance and away from the moving rods. This greatly reduces the risk of hand and back injuries associated with manually handling the rods.
