The ‘Weasel’ drilling unit is extremely compact, highly maneuverable, and ruggedly built to go into areas that require a remote-controlled vehicle.

Where a work area cannot be seen, the Weasel operator is able to observe and direct the drilling unit’s operation from a safe distance through the use of a video camera. It can also direct the drilling unit to drill standard holes, then remotely load explosives with a detonator, ready for secondary blasting.
