Reverse Circulation Low Impact Rigs

Rig 1

Model KD 150 RCA
Environmental Low Impact

A custom built Reverse Circulation drill rig designed for compactness and maximum movability allowing minimal environmental impact and drill pad clearing. Again this design reduces drill hole setup time therefore maximising drilling time.

This Drill Rig is a one engine concept which powers both hydraulics and the compressor and is mounted on a custom built MAN 6 x 6.
