325 Sandvik’s improved Commando DC130Ri drilling rig is said to be more productive and more rugged than the version it replaces. This rubber-tyred, compact top hammer drill includes upgraded features developed through customer feedback.

Versatile and highly productive, the rig is said to feature sophistication and mobility. The machine has a modular design and a new RD106 rock drill, as well as a sophisticated control system. The fully remote-controlled, hydraulic and self-propelled rig runs on a four-wheel carrier, with power from a C2.2 Cat diesel delivering 36.3kW and is designed for drilling 22-45mm holes.

The RD106 rock drill delivers 5.5kW of output power, while the machine is said to offer high penetration rates and a large drilling coverage area. Meanwhile, its forward pointing feed allows it to drill closer to structures than before.

The machine also possesses the functionality to have roll-over for the feed, change drill steels on the rock drill, and to adjust the drill rig to challenging conditions. In addition, the new control system enables the use of the TIMi aligning and inclination system as well as the SanRemo remote monitoring service.
