DTH Foot Clamp (Rod Clamp)
This is a URD style exploration hydraulic drill rig foot clamp. Our foot clamp is made from a full cast steel frame, links & couplings. The focus of our design is to be as sturdy as it could possibly get. This is a product that won't fail out in the wilderness.
Key Features
- 1 Piece SC40 steel castings, a unified 1 piece design to give all components the most strength as possible. All castings are cast and tempered with SGS tensile strength reports available.
- Fabricated components made from S50C steel. Again higher quality steel used to provide a longer lasting unit.
- LH and RH balancing rod to allow immediate adjustment.
- Can hold a pipe range of BQ, NQ, HQ, PQ, PWT & SW
- Exposed components plated to give environmental protection
- Supplied in a grey etched undercoat. Enamel orange or yellow coating is available upon request.
- Our footclamp is constantly evolving with feedback taken seriously.
- Fitted with our inserted jaws allows this unit to be maintained on the go with replacement teeth which are interchangeable with all of our jaw sets.
Please note that despite what salesmen representing welded-up units may say, a good cast unit can be superior to any welded unit simply because it is a one piece design with 100% contact area (ie. it's solid). This fabrication is made up to justify the higher prices they charge and their lack of exposure to getting good steel cast parts.

Powerful Hydraulic Solution
3000psi Rated Hydraulic Ram. Each unit comes with a spare seal kit.
Balancing Rod
We use the M20 balancing rod by default in all units. This balancing rod does not require disassembly to operate just turn and each link is mirrored. M24 rod style is also available!
Bush Housing
Our bush housing set uses a bronze liner to ensure it's sacrificial against the links. Again to allow a longer lifetime of use.
Jaw Holder Rod Set
All pins use quick release clips to remove the need for tools on site. Eye bolts are used in other lifting area to keep down custom required parts.
Right Link
Fully cast link. We've elongated the jaw holder holes to allow slight variation between different vendors jaws. No need to be locked into 1 supplier.
Rod Clamp Base
This is the workhorse holding all the pressure. Our cast base rated tonnage is higher than any exploration rig mast can handle!
Right Coupling
The solid cast coupling connects the link, hydraulic ram and balancing rod together.
Left Coupling
Made from cast steel and then machined out to be replaceable on all of our footclamps.
Jaw Holder Set
Durable and precisely cast jaw holder set designed for reliable grip in foot clamp systems.
