Rotary Air Blast and Air Core Rigs
Rig 2
Model KD150A custom built RAB / Air Core drill rig designed for compactness and maximum movability allowing minimal site clearing. The design reduces drill hole setup time therefore maximising drilling time.
The Drill Rig utilises a two engine concept, one engine to power the hydraulics and the other to power an on board Sullair compressor. The Drill is mounted on a Hino Osprey 4 x 4.
