Ultra-large-diameter drilling in the 17"–20" / 432–508 mm bit range. Built on the robust SD15 shank standard, delivering extreme impact energy at 1,140 blows per minute through a 528 lb / 240 kg hardened piston.

The HADK-150 is Drill King International’s largest-class DTH hammer, engineered for ultra-large-diameter drilling programs in the 17″–20″ / 432–508 mm bit range. Built on the robust SD15 shank standard, this single-model class delivers extreme impact energy at 1,140 blows per minute through a 528 lb / 240 kg hardened piston — producing more energy per blow than any other hammer in the Drill King lineup.
At 2,769 lbs / 1,256 kg and a 14.80″ / 376 mm outer diameter, the HADK-150 is purpose-built for the demands of deep-diameter mine development, large-scale blast-hole programs, water well construction, and major infrastructure bore work where conventional hammer sizes cannot deliver the required hole diameter or energy output. The 8⅝” API REG PIN top sub connection, 20,000 lb·Ft make-up torque, and 10,000 lb·Ft rotation torque rating reflect the extreme mechanical demands of 15-inch class drilling assemblies.
Premium alloy construction, a precision heat-treated hardened piston, and field-ready Repair & Rebuild kits keep the HADK-150 serviceable on the most remote and demanding sites worldwide.
Heavy-duty shank engineered specifically for the torque and energy demands of 15-inch class drilling assemblies.
A 528 lb / 240 kg hardened piston delivers higher impact energy per blow than any smaller-class hammer in the Drill King range — enabling penetration in the hardest rock formations.
17"–20" / 432–508 mm bit diameters, covering the widest-bore drilling applications in Mining, Water Well, Geothermal, and Infrastructure sectors.
1,140 blows per minute for sustained penetration in large-diameter, high-resistance formations.
20,000 lb·Ft / 27,120 N·m make-up torque and 10,000 lb·Ft / 13,560 N·m rotation torque, matching 15-inch class assemblies and heavy drill strings.
8⅝" API REG PIN top sub connection for heavy-duty large-diameter drill strings in ultra-deep and ultra-wide programs.
Easy, cost-effective field maintenance keeps the HADK-150 operational on the most remote large-diameter drilling programs.
All wear-critical components — wear sleeve, piston retaining ring, bearing, and bit retaining ring — built for extended service life under extreme impact and abrasion loads.
1,140 BPM frequency, 10,000 lb·Ft rotation torque, and a 528 lb hardened piston suit sustained high-energy demands of mine development, shaft sinking support, and wide-pattern blast-hole programs in hard rock.
For deep municipal, industrial, and geothermal programs requiring 17"–20" bore diameters — penetration energy and compressor-matched air consumption to maintain production in abrasive formations.
Extreme energy per blow and consistent 1,140 BPM output enable high-production drilling across large benches in granite, basalt, limestone, and other hard aggregates.
Bridge caissons, piling, culverts, and underground infrastructure requiring large-diameter boreholes — bore diameter, torque capacity, and build quality for demanding civil programs.
