The Tech 5000 is Hy-Tech’s flagship lightweight drill: portable, compact, and deceptively powerful. Designed for versatility, it delivers predictable performance across surface, underground, fly, ice, barge, and low-impact setups. No matter the terrain or the access, the Tech 5000 gets in quickly, sets up efficiently, and keeps drilling with confidence.
The Tech 5000 is engineered first and foremost for lightweight, high-efficiency drilling. Its small footprint, modular structure, and portable design make it ideal for programs where access, environmental sensitivity, or setup speed are critical. From deep NQ programs to remote-access drilling, its ability to combine portability with power is key to its long-term success.
Full guarding, hydraulic safety systems, and controlled layouts protect crews across all setups.
A core part of our fleet in Canada, the USA, Spain, and Portugal: built for diverse terrain and reliable performance.
Easy to transport and set up, supporting fast moves and efficient drilling in remote or challenging locations.
A 99% hole completion rate reflects the Tech 5000’s dependable output on programs where access and efficiency matter most.
Compact and portable, the Tech 5000 consistently outperforms expectations. Its deepest hole — 2,696 metres NQ on the Sullivan Deeps project in southeastern BC —remains a milestone achievement for a drill in this size class. It’s proof that a lightweight rig can still deliver high performance when the project demands it.
“When clients see the Tech 5000 on their program, they know they’re getting performance, completion, and real value. It’s proven itself time and time again.”
The Tech 5000 integrates full guarding, hydraulic safety controls, interlocks, and emergency stops to protect crews in every setup. Engineered stability, clear sightlines, and mast-mounted lighting support safe operation in low light, poor weather, and confined underground headings. Its modular layout reduces exposure during maintenance, helping crews work confidently and consistently.
Lightweight, compact, and easy to move, the Tech 5000 minimizes ground disturbance from the moment it arrives on site. Its modular design supports helicopter moves, low-impact trail access, ice drilling, barge setups, and environmentally sensitive programs that require gentle footprints.
With quiet operation and optional noise-dampening or camouflage strategies, it adapts to sensitive terrain and helps protect land, wildlife, and nearby communities.
Lightweight surface and underground programs where portability, access, low impact, and predictable control are essential.
It has reached depths of up to 2,696 metres NQ on past projects, though most programs leverage its mobility and versatility rather than deep-hole capability.
Across Canada, the USA, Spain, and Portugal in lightweight surface, underground, fly, ice, and barge configurations.
Through full guarding, hydraulic safety systems, interlocks, e-stops, engineered stability, and lighting that supports safe operation in all conditions.
Its lightweight, modular design reduces setup and move time. Combined with a reliable powertrain and efficient handling systems, crews spend more time drilling and less time troubleshooting.
