Rotary Air Blast and Air Core Rigs


Rotary Air Blast and Air Core Rigs

Rig 2

Model KD150

A 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.
