SPEED: The VR-500 provides optimum bit load from initial surface contact throughout the entire drilling operation. Operators  also have the ability to immediately start a horizontal curve after surface penetration resulting in greater access to shallow formations. American Augers designed the VR-500 on the premise that Greater Penetration Rates = Greater Profits
PERFORMANCE: The VR-500 showcases American Augers commitment to providing equipment with maximum Push/Pull Thrust and Rotary Torque for increased working power and reserve capacity. The Best-In-Industry Top Head Drive equipped with Slip Spindle is rugged and durable yet easy on Pipe Threads. The remote operated Pipe Handling System ensures Control/Ease/Safety of the Loading Operation
SAFETY: The VR-500 eliminates many traditional drilling components, such as draw works, cables, manual tongs, and catheads, which reduces injuries and downtime. Standard Operating Procedures limits the need for crew members to be on the drilling floor, which contributes to improved jobsite safety
