Flyable surface coring drill rig for remote locations LF™70

Mobility

The LF™70 modular design consists of seven sections that are heliportable for reaching remote locations. This drill reduces downtime when mobilizing between sites and significantly decreases the environmental impact to a drill site.

Modular Design

With just seven components, it takes less than one hour to pull down the rig and the same amount of time to reassemble it.

Lightweight

Special attention was given to the overall weight and dimension of the drill’s design. Each of its seven components weigh less than 585 kg and are easily transportable by helicopter. The LF70 is ideal for drilling in confined, remote locations.

Features

1. SOLID STRUCTURAL DESIGN
Rigid design provides superior performance and reliability even under the toughest conditions.

2. NITRO CHUCK™
The patented nitrogen gas spring jaws with hydraulic open/spring-close function ensures a fail-safe operation.

3. SIMPLE HYDRAULIC DESIGN
Direct-coupled hydraulic pumps with a PTO-driven auxiliary pump allow for easy maintenance.

4. FLYABLE
The LF™70 easily breaks down into seven flyable modules with a maximum weight of 585 kg (1,290 lbs).

5. PQ ROTATION UNIT
Four-speed transmission delivers high torque when needed, and high speed for diamond drilling.

6. SELF-CONTAINED OPERATOR PANEL
The simple hydraulic system is easy to operate and maintain while lift-to-shift levers provide additional operator safety
