HD900 DIAMOND DRILL

 The size and weight of the tracked HD900 diamond coring rig allow it to easily navigate steep hills and soft swamps. The design is simple and efficient with the drill head mounted directly on the feed ram eliminating pull down cables and pull back chains. This direct coupling makes the rig safer, lighter and the hydraulics respond quicker, drilling straighter holes. An ideal drilling rig where large rotation power is required - with a 12 tonne pullback force and a 7.5 tonne winch, it can easily handle deep drilling.
