HUD are the global owner of all Kempe® and MetreEater® products and brands – the OEM.
HUD bought both product lines from Boart Longyear at the end of 2008, which included all intellectual property, as well as all existing spare parts stock and inventory at the time. All components are manufactured to original design drawings and specifications, by HUD. Since then we have invested in additional inventory to support all existing customers.
In addition we have invested in our assembly and testing areas in our new facility, such that every complete drill, pneumatic and hydraulic, is run tested prior to shipment.
The Kempe® Drill Range is made up of the following drills
- U2-AW. Both Pneumatic and Electro-hydraulic versions available.
- U3-6B. We still carry and sell most spares the U3-6B drill to service existing drills in the market, but have discontinued sales of new units. The U3-9B drill is sold as the replacement for the U3-6B.
- U3-9B. Both Pneumatic and Electro-hydraulic versions available.
- U3-9BQ. Both Pneumatic and Electro-hydraulic versions available.
