Portable and vehicle-mounted KOR-IT drilling systems help crews create clean pavement access openings for utility potholing, conduit work and fiber-installation projects — with matching core bits available for the job.
KOR-IT hitch-mounted drilling equipment in the field
Before trenching or horizontal directional drilling begins, crews may need to verify the location and depth of existing utilities. Core drilling creates a clean opening through concrete or asphalt so the area below can be exposed using the crew's approved potholing or daylighting method.
Diamond core drilling creates a controlled circular opening with less pavement breakout than rough demolition methods.
Use a lightweight handheld system for smaller openings or a vehicle-mounted system for repetitive mobile work.
Select the diameter, segment and bit type for the concrete or asphalt being drilled.
Smaller access openings and spread-out utility work can call for very different equipment. This page brings both options together so crews can choose by hole diameter, mobility and production needs.
The EK-501-G25 is a lightweight gasoline-powered handheld drill for one-person field operation when portability and quick movement between smaller holes matter most.

Hitch-mounted systems bring a stable drilling platform directly to the work vehicle, with configurations for holes up to 16 inches and positioning options for repetitive utility drilling.

Start with the portable EK-501-G25 for smaller access openings, or move into the Hitch Mounted Series when the project requires more capacity, positioning and repetitive drilling from a service vehicle.
Lightweight gas-powered core drilling for smaller access holes where crews need maximum portability.
Receiver-hitch-mounted drilling with extended positioning for repetitive utility coring directly from a work vehicle.
Adds auger capability to the 1716 platform for crews that need both pavement coring and earth drilling on utility projects.
Choose from compact 8-inch and 16-inch configurations or extended-reach 1716 systems based on the hole size and positioning needed.
Verify utility-locating requirements, pavement material, hole diameter, vehicle or mounting requirements, water supply and jobsite procedures before drilling.
KOR-IT offers concrete and asphalt core bits in multiple diameters and drill depths. Match the bit to the pavement, hole size and machine so the drilling setup fits the application from the start.
Share the application, hole diameter, pavement material and equipment needs you have. KOR-IT can help identify a portable or hitch-mounted drilling setup and match the core bit to the work.
