FRD Crawler drills – for the most demanding and varied tasks
Over recent years FRD has invested huge efforts in bringing superb crawler drill capabilities to the market, with the assurance of high cost-effectiveness, long life, low failure rate, low maintenance, and modest price. FRD crawler drills are the result of a lot of work by many experienced, committed and dedicated engineers who have done a lot of listening to clients.
Special benefits include:
- On-screen information system means the operator has full view of machine status in real time.
- The FRD dual damper system means maximum energy transfer by holding the bit against the rock at all times.
- IDS automatic anti-jam and force control feature means optimum working time, and maximum efficiency.
- In-Line-2 rod changer means fast rod change time.
- Reverse percussion facility means easy freeing up of a blocked rod.
- High output compressors mean high flush volume, fast drilling and low bit wear.
- Low emission engines mean EU, US and Japanese regulations are satisfied.
- Special rubber mountings and heater facilities mean comfortable operator working conditions.
- Check crawler drill for specification details.
