About Us

Manufacturers of Well Drilling Rigs for Water Well, Geothermal and Cathodic Protection Drilling

In 2017, Geoprobe^® acquired DRILLMAX^® and began moving DRILLMAX^® manufacturing to Salina, Kansas, from Florida and investing Geoprobe^® engineering, marketing, and business systems into a new line of water well equipment. The rotary drilling rigs are now completely designed, developed, and manufactured at the Kansas facility. The same — albeit larger — engineering and manufacturing facility that introduced some of the first direct-push hammers. 

Customer input inspires ongoing investment in innovation to continually refine the efficiency of a range of DRILLMAX^® well drilling rigs. Constant contact with drillers in the field gleans knowledge on challenges they’ve faced and success of proposed solutions. This atmosphere of innovation and driller feedback fuels our ability to lead the industry, designing and manufacturing the best possible well drilling rigs.
