Serbia's rich geological landscape has long positioned it as a central hub for mining and heavy industry within the Balkan region. From the historic copper mines of Bor and Majdanpek to the vast coal reserves in the Kolubara basin, the extraction of minerals and resources remains a cornerstone of the Serbian national economy. In these demanding environments, the necessity for robust, high-performance tooling is paramount. Hand-held rock drills, or pneumatic jackhammers, serve as the frontline equipment for miners and contractors navigating the complex, hard-rock formations characteristic of the Dinaric Alps and Carpathian-Balkan geological zones.
Serbian Mining Resurgence: With major international investments flowing into operations like Zijin Mining in eastern Serbia, local contractors are increasingly demanding industrial-grade pneumatic rock drills that comply with strict European safety standards while delivering unmatched durability.
Beyond large-scale mining, Serbia is undergoing an unprecedented infrastructure boom. The construction of new transit corridors, municipal tunnels, railway expansions, and urban redevelopment projects in Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Niš requires versatile excavating machinery. In tight spaces where heavy crawler drills cannot operate, hand-held pneumatic rock drills are indispensable. Whether it is for dimensional stone quarrying in western Serbia, secondary blasting in open-pit mines, or utility trenching through granite and limestone, these tools provide the mobility and impact energy needed to keep projects on schedule.

Work together, keep improving to deliver flawless engineering.
With sincerity, you can achieve anything in partnership.
Customer first, service first throughout the product lifecycle.
Keeping up with the times and forging ahead with AI & manufacturing tech.
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility combines traditional mechanical precision with advanced digital automation to produce industry-leading rock drills. Every stage of the manufacturing process is monitored by strict Quality Assurance protocols to ensure that every drill leaving the factory is ready for the harshest environments, such as the underground mines of Eastern Europe.
All materials are sourced from domestic and international well-known suppliers, ensuring the chemical composition is free from any flaws.
High-precision CNC lathes and multi-axis CNC milling machines ensure exact tolerances. Machine tools are from world-renowned brands.
Carburizing, nitriding, volume quenching, annealing, and tempering are carried out in a sealed quench furnace to maximize component lifespan.
Universal cylindrical and internal diameter CNC grinding machines with process gauges maintain dimensional tolerances within 3 microns.
Advanced painting and protective coating processes increase the service life of the tools and provide a premium aesthetic finish.
Each assembled rock drill is rigorously tested on custom platforms for torque, beats per minute (BPM), and air consumption before certification.
Shenli is ISO 9001:2015 certified. We strive to constantly monitor and improve our processes to ensure the highest quality products. Experienced quality inspectors use a variety of precision instruments and special gauges to test the dimensional and functional performance of all components. Regular internal and external quality audits are carried out to continuously improve quality.
CE certification is a mandatory conformity mark for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). CE stands for "Conformité Européenne" which translates to "European Conformity." The CE mark certifies that a product has met EU consumer safety, health, or environmental requirements. CE certification also allows manufacturers to freely circulate their products within the EEA. ISO 9001:2015 is an international quality management system (QMS) standard that outlines requirements for a quality management system. The standard is designed to help organizations ensure they meet customer and regulatory requirements. Our factory has been ISO 9001:2015 certified since 2015, and all of our products are CE certified. This ensures that our products meet high standards of quality and safety, and that they can be freely circulated within the EU. CE certification and ISO 9001:2015 certification are just two of the ways we ensure that our products are of the highest quality.
Our commitment to excellence has attracted global clients from major industrial economies. Below are a few highlights of international partnerships that reflect our factory's capability to deliver custom solutions on a large scale.
The Dutch customer came to our factory and was satisfied with the production equipment, raw materials as well as advanced processes that we have in place. The client then signed a custom order for 500 units after being shown all of these great things about what is possible here at this facility! They hope long-term cooperation can occur between both parties moving forward since they are happy overall from their visit today.
The American customer visits our factory and has an in-depth negotiation to reach a long-term cooperation relationship, focusing on the customization of heavy-duty pneumatic paving breakers and high-durability rock drill bits for complex engineering sites.
The Japanese customer was very satisfied with the factory equipment and production process. He also proposed that they work together on design, which would give them an edge over their competitors who do not have this partnership!
We are delighted that Indian customers have visited our factory to learn more about ISO 9001 certification, which opens up new opportunities for us to collaborate. We explained in detail which parts go to which products, and how many different assembly lines there are, and we all understood. He is looking forward to working with us. This is our first cooperation, and we still maintain a cooperative relationship.
In Serbia and the wider Balkan territory, the demand for pneumatic rock drills is shifting toward smarter, safer, and more energy-efficient models. As local regulations align closer with European Union environmental and safety standards, manufacturers must adapt. Key trends shaping the industry include:
Long-term exposure to hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a major concern for miners and construction workers. Modern hand-held rock drills are designed with spring-dampened handles and ergonomic grips that isolate the operator from the intense impact shock waves, allowing for safer, longer operation shifts without compromising drilling speed.
Urban construction projects in cities like Belgrade require machinery that operates within strict decibel limits. The incorporation of noise-dampening mufflers in pneumatic tools like the B47 and SK10 picks allows contractors to execute demolition and trenching works in densely populated residential areas without violating local environmental ordinances.
The abrasive limestone and hard granite found in Serbian quarries demand drilling accessories of exceptional hardness. Using spherical shape button bits with advanced tungsten carbide inserts ensures faster penetration rates and longer service intervals, significantly lowering the total cost of ownership for quarry operators.
