NEW EQUIPMENT The new Commando DC300Ri is a modern, fully radio remote-controlled, rubber- tyred surface top hammer drill rig. The Commando DC300Ri follows the same unique modular design as other smaller Sandvik next generation surface drill rigs. This logical layout ensures high uptime with easily accessible service points, on-board diagnostics and small transportation dimensions. Being only 2.85m in height allows easy and fast transportation of the rig from site to site on a small truck or even a trailer. Versatility to different applications Wide hole range and application-specific on-board options make the Commando DC300Ri a multipurpose drill rig. It suits various civil construction works, such as road and railroad job sites, trenching, channelling and different foundation works. The extended reach and the optional hydraulic roll-over, which allows the feed to rotate 360 degrees, make the unit an ideal fit for dimensional stone drilling and secondary breaking. With smaller hole sizes, the Commando DC300Ri suits tunnelling applications perfectly. The hydraulic roll- over is a necessity in bolting and grouting, and the optional one rod adding system gives flexibility and safety. A special fast tramming option for tunnelling allows the drill rig to keep up with the other fast- moving machines underground. Additional essential options for tunnelling include the exhaust gas purifier (for Tier3 engine), water flushing and powerful LED lights. In addition, the new Commando DC300Ri can be further equipped with several intelligent options to suit specific needs, these include auto-aligning, SanRemo remote monitoring and Remote Screen. The new drill rig is extremely mobile and agile. It features four powerful tramming motors with maximum tramming force of 43 kN in total. www.equipmentandhire.co.za A special fast tramming option for tunnelling allows the drill rig to keep up with the other fast-moving machines underground.
