The X-Pandabolt is an hydraulically expanded rockbolt that releases the internal pressure once installation has been completed. With no internal pressure, the body of the X-Pandabolt is able to withstand greater deformation than that of a Hydrabolt and therefore withstands greater lateral movement of the rock in which the X-Pandabolt is installed.
X-Pandabolts are fitted with an integral load indicator that confirms X-Pandabolt has been correctly installed by popping forward once the X-Pandabolt has been adequately pressurized; secondly the color of the load indicator identifies which length of X-Pandabolt has been installed.
