Founded in 2000, the Drillto brand is recognized as a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise-a designation for specialized, refined, unique, and innovative firms. As a domestic leader in the trenchless technology industry and a premier manufacturer of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) rigs, Drillto aspires to be the go-to expert for trenchless solutions in complex underground engineering projects. Headquartered in Shenzhen, the company operates R&D and production bases in Wuxi, Shanghai, and Huizhou. With a registered capital of 130 million RMB, the company employs 300 people, over 60% of whom are technical personnel. Its facilities span 90 mu (approximately 6 hectares), and it generates an average annual revenue of 250 million RMB, with a historical peak exceeding 350 million RMB.
The core of the Drillto expert team resides in its two primary operational hubs: Shenzhen Drillto and Wuxi Drillto. Founded by early pioneers in domestic trenchless technology research, the company focuses on the R&D and production of various trenchless pipeline-laying equipment, HDD rigs, and their associated drill pipes and tools. Drillto provides clients with comprehensive, one-stop solutions-encompassing equipment, operational workflows, and professional services-tailored for a wide range of applications, including municipal infrastructure, oil and gas pipelines, telecommunications networks, and tunnel-based trenchless construction. To date, the company has served over 6,000 clients.
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) rigs are utilized for the trenchless installation of underground pipelines-including those for power, telecommunications, natural gas, sewage, and water supply-enabling the crossing of obstacles such as roads, railways, airport runways, rivers, fish ponds, and existing structures.
According to assessments by the Trenchless Technology Professional Committee of the Geological Society of China, the Drillto brand has consistently ranked among the top three in the domestic market for 26 consecutive years. It held the number one position in national sales for 15 years during its peak period, and in 2015, it reached the top spot domestically while also ranking among the leaders globally, establishing itself as a recognized premier manufacturer of horizontal directional drilling equipment. Specifically, the market share for Drillto ZT-series trenchless pipe-laying rigs was 20.8%, 23.6%, and 24.8% from 2019 to 2021, respectively. At its peak in 2015, the brand commanded approximately 29% of the domestic market and about 10% of the international market.
In 2024, the company was recognized by China Construction Machinery magazine as one of the Top 50 Specialized Construction Machinery Manufacturers in China.
In the realms of complex geological formations and specialized engineering, Drillto leverages a portfolio of purpose-built equipment-such as AT all-formation rock-drilling rigs, high-precision inclined-shaft drilling rigs, and tunnel/gallery drilling rigs-to maintain a technological edge in niche areas like hard-rock crossings, long-distance crossings, and high-precision construction. It stands as one of the few domestic providers of equipment and solutions capable of undertaking high-difficulty, national-level trenchless engineering projects.


The company has successively introduced SOLIDWORKS auxiliary design software, PDM, ERP, MES and other modern management systems. Drillto has been certified as the integration of Industrialization and information technology system AA grade, which effectively improve the management level and production efficiency of the enterprise, to ensure product quality, and provide a guarantee for the continuous innovation of products. The company not only pays attention to and leads the technological innovation of the trenchless industry, but also educates and trains the professionals in the industry, and holds the trenchless technology training courses from time to time, and all the industry insiders can attend for free, which effectively improves the technical quality of the trenchless practitioners.
For 26 years, Drillto has focused on horizontal directional drilling (HDD) rigs and their associated drill pipes and tools. The group offers a portfolio of 248 distinct trenchless product models and excels in developing customized solutions tailored to specific project requirements, making it the manufacturer with the most comprehensive product range in the domestic trenchless engineering machinery sector.
Currently, its core product offerings span seven major series:

ZT Series Horizontal Directional Drills
With models ranging from 6 to 1,200 tons-covering the smallest to the largest units in the industry-these machines are designed for diverse ground conditions, including soil, sand, and soft rock. They serve as the primary equipment for trenchless construction projects involving municipal, oil and gas, and telecommunications pipelines.

AT Series All-Terrain Rock HDD Rigs
Covering a tonnage range from 20 to 150 tons and capable of operating in all types of geological formations, this series represents the earliest-developed and most comprehensive lineup of rock-drilling horizontal directional drills (HDD) in China, specifically engineered for projects in hard rock formations with compressive strengths exceeding 80 MPa.

ZTSPZ Series Horizontal Auger Drilling Rigs
With a tonnage range spanning 110 to 300 tons, this series represents the most extensively developed product line of its kind among leading industry players. It is ideally suited for projects requiring zero-settlement conditions and for the high-precision drilling of pilot holes for pipe-roof support systems in tunneling-a solution that has gained significant popularity in overseas markets.

ZTTG Series Trenchless Pipe-Pushing Machines
With a capacity range of 300 to 750 tons, these machines are designed for large-scale trenchless engineering projects-such as providing auxiliary pushing force for pipeline installation (oil, gas, etc.)-as well as for emergency rescue operations.

ZTJN Series Tunneling/Boring Rigs
With a capacity range spanning from 6 to 80 tons, these rigs align with national "urban renewal" policies. They are extensively used for the renewal, repair, and replacement of urban pipelines, and have gained widespread recognition in Hong Kong and various Southeast Asian countries.

Integrally Forged Drill Rods and Complementary Drilling Tools
Drillto is the only specialized manufacturer in China that produces both the primary drilling equipment and its corresponding drill rods. The company independently develops and manufactures a full range of supporting products-including integrally forged drill rods, reamers, and mud systems-ensuring superior compatibility with the primary drilling equipment.
Currently, Drillto Trenchless Co., Ltd has successfully applied 258 trenchless HDD field independent intellectual property patents, including 38 invention patents.
