MD40
The MD40 is a compact, track-mounted drilling rig designed for shallow geotechnical drilling applications, particularly in confined and difficult-to-access locations.
With a compact width of just 1.6 meters, the rig offers excellent maneuverability and can operate efficiently in areas with limited space.
The MD40 can accommodate either 3-metre or 1.5-metre drill rods, providing flexibility for different drilling requirements.
Depending on project conditions and customer preferences, it can be configured with a 4-speed rotation head or a dual-motor system to deliver optimal drilling performance.
Fully customizable to suit specific operational needs, the MD40 provides an economical, versatile, and efficient solution for shallow drilling projects where precision, flexibility, and accessibility are essential.
