"The figures in these tables have been calculated using the pulling capacity of the
mainline hoist with a fluid filled hole and an effective rock tensile strength of 5MPa.
Actual drilling results may vary and will be affected by in-hole tools, fluid level in the
hole, subsurface and other environmental conditions, drilling techniques, and
equipment used".
* BQ capacity is shown for comparison purposes only. It is not recommended drilling
practice to drill over 2000 m BQ depth. Always verify manufacturers drill rod depth
ratings prior to use.

LEVELING
JACKS/OUTRIGGERS

Four powerful, independently operated leveling jacks with a 20.5 inch stoke help reduce drill set
up time.

Each leveling jack is equipped with hydraulic locking valves and mechanical lockouts for secure
drill setup.
MOUNTING OPTION
Options Description

Includes all components need for mounting the drill on

the customers truck. Specifically designed for
Truck Mounting Option International 5600 Truck.
CATWALK, RAILING
AND ACCESS STAIRS

This option is available only when the Outrigger group is selected.

The ergonomically designed catwalk, railing and access stairs provide easy access to various drill
components during operation or for service and maintenance.
FLUID CIRCULATION
PUMPS

This triplex mud pump is the pump of choice for diamond drilling.

Output: 132L/m @ 55 Bar (35GPM @ 900PSI

Direct coupled hydraulic motor for long life and serviceability

Each pump module is equipped with a relief valve, pressure gauge, suction and discharge
assemblies, lifting bar and skid base

Infinitely variable water pump speeds controlled from the operators console for optimum control

MAST REST (TRUCK

AND MOUNT
VERSION)

Provides support to rest the mast during transportation of the drill rig.
MUD MIXER
Having a reliable mud mixer in the field is an integral part of the drilling process, because drilling
additives require a homogenous slurry mix to make the most of their lubricating and/or
stabilizing properties

The robust, reliable and durable slurry/mud mixer has a max speed of 2300rpm at full flow

Powered directly from the drill rig’s hydraulic system, it is tough enough to operate in any
drilling environment

Optional 150 gallons or 250 gallons mud tank

MUD TANK

This Mud Tank holds 250 gallons of drilling fluid and has 4 outriggers for support.
TOOL KIT

This tool kit comes equipped with a set of handy tools for performing general maintenance on the
drill.
