Rig 4 is an Atlas Copco ROC L8 Mark II, it is designed for both pre-splitting and large scale production work. This rig is the total solution for drilling in quarries, open pit mines and exploration sites. It has ample power to deliver high penetration rates and a rod handling capacity for hole depths of 54 meters in the carousel with the ability to load additional rods direct from the support truck to achieve deeper exploration work.

Safety features include fully automated rod handling and rod breaking facilities, full rotational cyclone for ease of levelling and cleaning, dust suppression, fire suppression and a complete electrical shutdown system. Coupled with the shutdown system we have a specific electric over hydraulic lock down switching system to allow offsiders to isolate certain hydraulic components while working around them to eliminate any accidental controls eliminating potential injury. 

This unit has the complete versatility and ability to work in tight and small operations including close proximity to high walls (2 meters), full mast orientation for pre splits and even horizontal holes for de-watering etc. This is a cab operated machine with optimum visibility and airconditioning for operator comfort  to reduce the risk of heat stress in extreme environments.

These machines are compact weighing in at 27 ton and easily moved from site, they are a very popular and sought after machine whether you need a few short water bores drilled right through to 80000 metre grade control programs.
