Overhead Drill Machine Generation 2 – Concrete Ceiling Drilling From the Floor
Make overhead concrete drilling faster, easier, and more efficient with the Overhead Drill Machine Generation 2 (ODM-G2). Designed for contractors and installers who need to drill into concrete ceilings without ladders or lifts, this telescoping drill machine allows you to perform overhead drilling directly from the floor using most standard D-handle SDS rotary hammers.
The ODM-G2 telescopes to reach concrete ceilings up to 13 feet high, making it an ideal solution for overhead fastening, suspended ceiling installation, structured cabling, threaded rod installation, concrete anchors, and other construction applications. Its unique actuator system engages the SDS hammer as the drill bit approaches the ceiling, providing convenient hands-free operation for overhead drilling.
For consistent ceiling heights, the included foot lever provides an easy, low-fatigue way to operate the system. The Overhead Drill Machine can also be used with compatible concrete anchors and threaded rod applications, helping installers complete overhead fastening tasks directly from the floor without the time, expense, and inconvenience of a lift or ladder.
Key Features
- Drill into concrete ceilings from the floor without ladders or lifts
- Telescopes up to 13 feet for high-ceiling applications
- Universal saddle fits most D-handle SDS rotary hammers
- Hands-free trigger system activates the hammer as the bit approaches the ceiling
- Included foot lever helps reduce fatigue when working at uniform ceiling heights
- Compact design makes transportation and jobsite setup easier
- Ideal for installing ceiling grid wire, tie wire anchors, threaded rod, and other overhead fasteners
- Useful for overhead concrete drilling and specialty applications such as drilling weep holes in precast concrete planks
Save Time on Overhead Concrete Installation
Traditional overhead drilling can require ladders, scaffolding, or expensive lifts, especially when installing anchors, ceiling wire, or threaded rod at height. The ODM-G2 Overhead Drill Machine provides a practical alternative by allowing many overhead drilling and fastening tasks to be completed from the floor.
The Overhead Drill Machine is particularly useful for suspended ceiling contractors, electrical contractors, data and communications installers, HVAC installers, and other construction professionals who regularly need to drill or install fasteners overhead in concrete.
Pair the ODM-G2 with compatible tie wire wedge anchors, an I Wedge Driver, SDS bits, or a Torque Extender Pole Tool to expand its range of overhead installation applications.
