NEW EQUIPMENT The DXR unit gives the Ranger DX productivity with remote-control user interface. The machine provides flexibility and safety for operating the unit in difficult conditions. the revolving superstructure turns the Ranger DXR truly into a powerhouse, enabling up to 60% more holes to be drilled per set-up compared to conventional top hammer drill rigs. Together with powerful rock drills and Rock Pilot+ drilling control system, In terms of productivity, the revolving superstructure turns the Ranger DXR truly into a powerhouse, enabling up to 60% more holes to be drilled per set-up compared to conventional top hammer drill rigs.” www.plantonline.co.za Technical data Ranger DX600R Ranger DX800R Recommended hole diameter 64–102mm (2½–4in.) 76–127mm (3–5in.)

The advanced hydraulic control drilling system of Rock Pilot+ means best bit penetration and extended tool lifetime with optimum drilling power for each rock condition, which ensures straighter holes for better blasting, and excellent holes collaring. High drilling capacity and reliability is achieved through the rock drill’s functional modular design and robust construction. Ranger DXR series drill rigs are designed for 64–127mm (2½–5") hole size range, with drill rod sizes between 38mm and 51mm (1½" and 2"). The standard configuration of the machine can be further boosted with more than 30 useful options, such as extended superstructure turning radius, advanced measurement systems, and upgraded dust control. In addition to the traditional feed rail angle measurement, there is also a variety of advanced alignment systems such as: using GPS for the orientation of inclined holes; laser levelling for improved bottom level accuracy; open interface for third-party systems; and TIM 3D satellite navigation for drill pattern planning and transfers. Contractors active in urban areas are likely to find a particularly attractive option in Noise Guard: a simple and rugged cover structure offering a total noise reduction of more than 10dB. It could be a decisive advantage when competing for contracts with strict noise limits. APRIL 2019 17
