V9XL
Heavy-duty crawler rig for large-diameter mud and DTH drilling.
Heavy-duty crawler rig with a 180HP deck engine, running both DTH and mud-rotary. Drills 4.5″–12″ boreholes to 450 m by DTH, and up to 350 mm (13.77″) to 100 m with mud circulation. A twin-motor rotary head, 7.6 m heavy-duty mast, and four-corner stabilisers carry the 15-ton build across gradient terrain.
