Since its founding, Barbco has brought many innovations to the auger boring industry which include: * Controlled Boring System (CBS) which enables a boring machine to hold to line and grade by use of a 360O articulating head and on-surface guidance system * Rapid Travel System (RTS) which provides a faster method of retracting the boring machine in order to add additional auger and casing * Dual sized machines providing better return on investment to the contractor * Pressure compensated load sensing hydraulic systems * Load sensing hydraulic valves * Hydraulic push bars In 1995 Barbco introduced its line of directional drills which range in size from the 25,000 lbs Tru-grade unit to the 110,000 lbs BD-110 SC, which is a self contained directional drill with an enclosed cab. Optional equipment on directional drills includes* Auger stake downs, * Automatic rod loaders * Track blocks * Heated and air conditioned cabs.   Barbco, INC. is a manufacturer of horizontal earth boring machines, directional drills, tunneling machines, auger and other related products for use in underground applications.
