The Rockdrill 5000 Rig can be fitted to any heavy duty 6x4 or 6x6 Truck chassis. We
prefer the IVECO Range as they have been proven in arduous off road conditions throughout
Africa and the Middle East and are available in the configurations required for drilling
purposes and we carry chassis in stock for this purpose. |

| The Derrick |
| The derrick is fabricated from hollow drawn steel tube and hot rolled sections. The
feed cylinder has a 6,5 metre stroke and is coupled to an inner derrick which carries the
rotary head. |
|
Rotary Head etc |
| The rotary head consists of a single high torque rotary motor coupled to an air-mud
swivel with extra heavy duty bearings which take all forces produced during drilling
operations. The bull shaft on the air swivel has a 4,5" Full hole thread to which the
drill string is attached. A built-in shock absorber on the head minimizes vibration and
shock loads to the machine and drill string. A hydraulic 2 speed system is fitted as a
standard to all machines. The rotary head is fitted to an inner derrick which runs inside
the outer derrick on 6 heavy duty tyres which almost eliminates all wear. |
| Hydraulic Outriggers
|
| Four hydraulic outriggers are fitted to the outer corners of the rig for easy and
accurate leveling of the rig. |
| Hydraulic Cylinders
|
| Twin hydraulic cylinders are used to raise and lower the derrick and to lock it in for
angle drilling operations. |
| Control Panel
|
| All hydraulic controls are fitted into a single panel in front of the operator making
the operation of the machine very easy and simple even for unskilled operators. A finger tip down feed valve is fitted to ensure even pressures during drilling
operations. |
| Working Table
|
| The working table is fitted with removable half ring guide collar locks, which when
removed, allows 600mm diameter tools or augers to pass through. Guide bushes are supplied
to suit the drill string. |
| Power Pack
|
| The power pack consists of a 6 cylinder turbocharged Deutz diesel engine, close coupled
to a 3 stage positive displacement gear pump. All necessary air, fuel and oil filters and
coolers are fitted. |
| Tools
|
| Keeper keys and rod handling tools are supplied to suit the drill string. |
| Break Out Cylinder
|
| A breakout hydraulic cylinder is fitted to facilitate the breaking of hammers and drill
rods. |
| Lubrication |
A 10 litre in line oil lubricator for DTH hammers is fitted as standard.
