Abstract
A diamond drill skid pad is disclosed. The skid pad comprises at least two elongated skid members having relatively large ground engaging surfaces with upwardly curved ends for easy sliding of the skid pad on the ground surface, structural cross members for joining the skid members in spaced parallel relation and also forming a storage space for drill rods between the skid members, and means defining a trackway for a drill stand on the upper surface of the skid pad. A removable platform is preferably provided over the skid members for covering the storage space and supporting the drill operator and equipment.
