Get the equipment behind the opening. KOR-IT K-700 Series skid-steer-mounted hydraulic drills support large and standard-diameter pavement coring for runway, taxiway, and apron lighting projects.

In-pavement airport lighting installations depend on correctly sized and accurately located pavement openings. KOR-IT bucket-mounted hydraulic core drills help contractors complete the coring stage before light-base placement and the remaining installation work.
The bucket-mounted design gives crews a mobile drilling platform for work across expansive airfields.
EK-701 models provide approximately 29 inches of side-to-side and 11 inches of fore-and-aft drill-head travel.
The four models featured here include a 50-gallon water tank and 12VDC water pump for wet drilling.
Runway and taxiway projects require repeatable positioning, reliable hydraulic power, and a setup that can travel between hole locations. The K-700 family gives contractors a choice of standard and large-diameter drilling systems.
Select bit diameter and segment specification to match the project pavement and required opening.

Four skid-steer hydraulic coring options. The EK-701 models add adjustable positioning; the EK-700 models offer a standard mounting configuration. We can help identify the setup for your specified hole size and hydraulic equipment.
Large-diameter coring with variable positioning for accurate placement on demanding pavement projects.
Smaller-diameter hydraulic coring with the flexibility of adjustable drill-head placement.
Large-diameter skid-steer-mounted drilling for jobs where variable positioning is not required.
A bucket-mounted hydraulic option for standard-diameter pavement coring.
Verify hydraulic flow, pressure, coupling, electrical connections, core-bit selection, and jobsite requirements before ordering. Hoses and harnesses are not included as standard.
For runway, taxiway and other concrete pavement work that requires horizontal dowel holes, the EK-9000-HDM adds a self-contained hydraulic drilling system designed to core multiple holes with controlled positioning and feed.
Built for horizontal concrete coring, the EK-9000-HDM combines hydraulic movement, integrated water delivery and multi-head drilling controls in one pavement-drilling platform.
Compared with pneumatic hammer drilling, diamond coring is intended to create cleaner openings with less impact to the surrounding concrete. Final configuration and drilling procedure should be matched to the pavement specification and dowel-installation requirements.
Whether you're installing in-pavement lighting, drilling large pavement openings, or planning horizontal dowel coring, we'll help match the equipment, bit capacity and hydraulic setup to the project.
