After the great success of the HDD 162–254 mm clamp, appreciated throughout the sector for its exceptional performance and its construction robustness, Sgolastra expands its range with a new model designed to meet the increasingly specific needs of the horizontal directional drilling market (HDD).
Thus was born the HDD Ø60–Ø178 mm, a more compact clamp but capable of expressing surprising power, maintaining the same quality and technological standards that made the previous one famous.

Power in compact format
Despite its small size, the new HDD clamp stands out for its tightening force of 28,274 kg and a screwing/unscrewing torque of 14,259 kgm, guaranteeing maximum efficiency even in the most demanding operations.
With a working pressure of 250 bar, an unscrewing rotation of ±20° and a total weight of just 670 kg, this model combines high performance and easy handling, offering an ideal solution for compact machines and applications in small spaces.
Construction innovation and attention to detail
The new HDD Ø60–Ø178 mm inherits the construction philosophy that distinguishes the previous clamp, with a series of cutting-edge technical solutions:
- Almost completely bolted and non-welded sheets, for faster maintenance and a more resistant structure over time.
- Adjustable inserts that automatically adapt to the diameter of the rod to be tightened.
- Male sliding guides on slots, for perfect rotation without games.
- Double cylinder for screwing and unscrewing, with cylinders machined from solid to guarantee maximum robustness and durability.
- Use of WELDOX special steels, synonymous with mechanical resistance and reliability.
- Possibility of tilting the clamp by changing the position of the pin on the rear structure, for wide versatility of use.
- Removable front reinforcement stands, which simplify maintenance operations.
- Integrated block valves, to guarantee safety and total control in every work phase.



HDD performance, now for each diameter
With the new HDD Ø60–Ø178 mm clamp, the company consolidates its leadership in the sector, offering a range of clamps capable of covering all the operational needs of horizontal drilling.
A perfect combination of technology, power and compactness, born from listening to the demands of professionals in the sector and from the constant commitment to innovation.
