Following the launch of a Tier 3 version of the PowerROC D60 earlier this year, Epiroc has released the Tier 4 equipped PowerROC D60 drill rig onto the global market.

The PowerROC D60 hydraulic DTH-rig drills the largest holes in the PowerROC family, with this machine meeting the higher emission standards required to operate in countries with the highest emission thresholds.

The first unit was delivered to the US earlier this year and, after receiving positive feedback, has now been launched globally.

It can drill large holes ranging from 110 mm to 178 mm. In addition, the 5+1 Rod Handling System makes it possible to drill holes down to a depth of 30 m.

The rig features a pilot hydraulic system and straightforward electronics, which make the PowerROC D60 both easy to operate and simple to service, Epiroc says. The powerful rotation unit ensures that the PowerROC D60 can operate reliably in all types of rock conditions. In addition, a highly effective dust collection system ensures that the work environment is kept clean and safe, which protects both machine and personnel.
