Boart Longyear’s new DeltaBase (DB) 95 drill rig for the foundation construction market is targeted at tieback and soil nail drilling applications for difficult site conditions.

The new DB95 has the MasterLink™ mast articulation design which enables fast on-hole setup by maintaining precise and consistent drilling angles as the mast articulates. The drill system is mounted to an independent pendulum crawler which is capable of handling extreme terrain without the need for stabilization jacks.

The drill weighs 10,000 kg (22,050 lbs), operates with a 105 kW (141 hp) power pack, and features load-sensing technology which provides power-on-demand. Oversized hydraulic hoses ensure efficient power transmission and reduce power loss. The mast has a maximum torque rating of 15,000 Nm and a pullback capacity of 7,000 kg.
