Abstract

The invention relates to a drill rod magazine for vertical storage of drill rod elements, having a base frame, on which at least one support means is arranged that has two substantially horizontally directed retaining arms which, by formation of a receiving area, are parallel to and spaced apart from each other, wherein the drill rod elements are retained in a vertical position between the retaining arms. Along at least one retaining arm a clamping rod is supported in a movable manner which is in operative connection with a tensioning means that exerts a tensioning force onto the drill rod elements for retaining the drill rod elements in a clamping manner in the receiving area.
