The UNI 20x22 is a horizontal directional drill engineered for utility contractors who need more power than a compact class rig without sacrificing maneuverability on tight urban and suburban jobsites. With 20,000 lbs of thrust and pullback and 2,000 ft-lb of spindle torque, this utility boring machine handles a wide range of trenchless installation projects efficiently and reliably.
As a mid-compact horizontal directional drilling rig, the UNI 20x22 bridges the gap between mini rigs and full-size hdd machines — delivering directional boring machine performance suitable for water service lines, gas distribution, fiber optic networks, and electric conduit. It is an ideal directional drill for sale for contractors who need a step up from compact class equipment.
Powered by a 74 HP EPA Tier IV turbo diesel engine, the UNI 20x22 provides stable performance on demanding jobsites. The Kerr KZ-3150 mud pump delivers up to 30 gpm at 1,172 psi ensuring consistent borehole cleaning and drilling fluid delivery across all soil conditions.
Ideal for fiber optic and last-mile telecom buildout, water service and gas distribution lines, electric conduit and underground utility work, and residential and municipal infrastructure projects. At 214" x 62" x 87.5" and weighing 13,540 lbs with rods, the UNI 20x22 is purpose-built for suburban corridors and utility installation projects.
Contractors searching for an underground boring machine for sale will find the UNI 20x22 compatible with standard HDD tooling and drill pipe systems including Firestick I connections. Drill rod: 2.063" x 10 ft Firestick I #400 — 50 rods standard.
