The PowerROC 60 rig from Epiroc benefits from the firm’s proven drilling technology

Epiroc claims that its PowerROC D60 surface drill rig now benefits from an engine that is Tier 4 Final compliant. The PowerROC D60 hydraulic down-the-hole (DTH) surface drill rig is the largest model in the PowerROC family. The firm says that the machine is a straightforward, robust rig can drill large holes ranging from 109-178mm. In addition, the 5+1 Rod Handling System makes it possible to drill holes down to a depth of 30m. The machine benefits from proven Epiroc technology that helps to ensure that holes are straight and high in quality.

The rig features a pilot hydraulic system and straightforward electronics which make the PowerROC D60 easy to operate and service. The powerful rotation unit ensures that the rig can operate reliably in all types of rock conditions. In addition, an effective dust collection system ensures that the work environment is kept clean and safe, which protects both machine and personnel.
