About HDD Gear

A specialist supplier to Europe's HDD contractors — our own drill pipe, backreamers and custom subs, plus tooling, drilling fluids and locating systems from makers we represent.

Who we are

We do one thing — HDD

HDD Gear is an independent supplier specialised entirely in horizontal directional drilling (HDD): drill pipe, downhole tools, drilling fluids and locating equipment.

By concentrating on the machines that dominate the market — Ditch Witch, Vermeer and TT Technologies — we know every model, its drive system, thread connection and torque rating. That lets us guarantee the pipe or tool you receive fits your rig exactly. Alongside our own range we represent makers we trust — Hunting, ProAction Fluids and Underground Magnetics — so the whole job can be supplied from one place.

  • Drill pipe for every leading machine brand — plus backreamers, custom subs, tooling, drilling fluids and locating systems
  • Certified steel with documented strength data
  • Technical advice from people who know HDD drilling
  • Fast delivery from our central warehouse
● HDD specialists
Background

Born from a real need

HDD Gear grew out of the realisation that HDD contractors need one supplier who truly understands their machines and their jobs — not a generalist who sells everything to everyone.

Focused and specialised

Unlike generalists, we work only with horizontal directional drilling. That means our team has in-depth knowledge of materials, fits and thread connections, and of how pipe, tooling, fluids and locating equipment perform on a real bore.

Built by industry people

HDD Gear is run by people with years of field experience in directional drilling. We know what an unplanned stop costs and how critical it is that the pipe holds — so we never compromise on quality.

European reach

We ship across Europe from our warehouse. The central location means fast delivery and reliable lead times for contractors throughout the region.

Long-term relationships

Many of our customers are contractors and machine owners who come back job after job. We value long-term relationships and stay proactive about new products, stock status and lead times.

● Quality at every stage
Quality assurance

Steel we stand behind

Material quality is everything in drilling — a pipe that fails mid-bore causes costly stops and difficult pull-back problems. That's why we never compromise on steel.

All drill pipe we supply is made from certified alloy steel with documented data for tensile strength, torque and bend resistance, and our backreamers pair the same certified steel with tungsten-carbide cutters. Tool-joint faces and reamer connections are precision-machined for an exact fit on Ditch Witch, Vermeer and TT Technologies machines and minimal wear.

  • Certified alloy steel as standard
  • IEU-forged and inertia-welded tool joints
  • Precision-machined threads to OEM connection specs
  • Surface treatment against corrosion and mechanical wear
Machine compatibility

What we believe in

Availability

We respond quickly and hold a broad inventory to minimise your wait. Your schedule matters — we work around it.

The right product

We always recommend the product that best fits your machine and project — not the one with the best margin for us. Technical honesty is the basis for long-term relationships.

Partnership

We see ourselves as a partner rather than a supplier. That means we engage with your projects, share our knowledge and work for your success.
