Marcotte Machining has introduced the Mancore 600TA, a demountable, heli-portable rig specifically designed to reach difficult areas. This new rig complements Marcotte Machining’s existing line of drills, which includes the STM1500 for underground drilling and the HTM2500 for surface drilling. The Mancore 600TA is a modified version of the Mancore 600, incorporating the added feature of rugged tracks designed for efficient manoeuvrability in all types of terrain. Like the base model, the Mancore 600TA is a modular rig that can be easily disassembled for transportation to areas difficult to reach by land or by helicopter. Its heaviest module weighs just 408 kg once assembled.

The rig easily disassembles into several modules, all of which are easy to transport and reassemble.

The design of the drill allows for the assembly of motors and tanks in a confined space of just 6 m in diameter, even on unlevel terrain. This feature enables uninterrupted drilling, regardless of the type of terrain.

Marcotte Machining, based in Val-d’Or, Quebec, has been designing and manufacturing drilling rigs since 1992. In addition to the Mancore 600TA, the company is preparing to unveil other new models in the coming months.
