KWL1600 Multi Purpose Drill Rig
The KWL 1600 delivers exception performance coupled with
user-friendly operation and industry leading safety. It is a robust
and versatile platform that can be configured for both reverse
drilling and diamond drilling applications.
The highest quality hydraulic pumps and motors have been
inte-grated into this powerful design to create a reliable machine
that can cope with the toughest conditions.
Features include:
1 Top mounted mainline
Improves reliability and safety by keeping cable in tension and
pre-venting bird nesting
2 Cable over cylinder head traverse
Improves production by providing fast and smooth movement
3 Top drive 2 speed head
Floating spindle makes for simple rod start and allows high
speed for diamond drilling and high torque for RC drilling
