HDD Rigs For Sale — Custom-Engineered Directional Drilling Machines from 12,000 to 500,000 lbs
Universal HDD designs and manufactures a complete lineup of horizontal directional drilling rigs for utility, pipeline, and energy sector contractors across the USA. Every UNI rig is engineered by our in-house team to meet the specific requirements of each project — from ground conditions and bore length to pipe diameter and jobsite access. Whether you need a compact small directional boring machine for urban fiber optic installation or a maxi rig directional drill for a major pipeline crossing, Universal HDD engineers work directly with contractors to build the right solution.
Utility Class — UNI 12x20 to UNI 80x120
The Universal HDD utility lineup covers 12,000 to 80,000 lbs of pullback — purpose-built for fiber optic, telecom, water, gas, and electric conduit installations across urban, suburban, and rural jobsites. Compact models like the UNI 12x20 and UNI 20x22 are designed for tight-access urban environments where larger horizontal boring machines can't operate. Mid-range utility rigs including the UNI 40x55, UNI 60x90, and UNI 80x120 handle longer bores, larger pipe diameters, and more demanding ground conditions — each configurable to your specific project requirements.
Pipeline Class — UNI 130x150 to UNI 500x700
For pipeline contractors and energy sector operators who need maximum pulling force, Universal HDD offers three large bore directional drills: the UNI 130x150 (130,000 lbs), UNI 250x400 (250,000 lbs), and UNI 500x700 (500,000 lbs). These pipeline HDD rigs are engineered for major oil and gas pipeline crossings, river and waterway bores, highway crossings, and long-distance large-diameter trenchless installations across Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and North Dakota energy corridors.
Custom-Engineered for Your Operation
Universal HDD maintains an in-house engineering team that works with contractors to develop drilling solutions tailored to specific project demands — including custom pullback configurations, drill pipe options, operator cab specifications, and all-weather packages for operation in any US climate zone.
