Robust Boxer-Style Mast Construction: The innovative solid boxer-style mast construction enhances structural reliability and minimizes maintenance time. This robust design contributes to the overall durability and longevity of the equipment.

Intelligent Compressor Control: The intelligent compressor control feature empowers the operator to regulate the air amount directed into the hole. This capability not only aids in managing power and fuel consumption but also effectively controls bailing velocity, leading to reduced operating costs.

Auto-Bit Handling: The auto-bit carousel is a groundbreaking feature designed to minimize bit change downtime. This innovation allows for quick adaptation to a new hole diameter, enabling operators to efficiently adjust the drill pattern for optimal fragmentation.

Drill Automation System with Remote Control Operation: Enhance drill utilization and reduce operator inefficiencies with the drill automation system featuring remote control operation. The system supports both single and multiunit high-precision GPS (HPGPS) for effective control, contributing to overall operational efficiency.

Auto Navigation Capability with HPGPS: The auto navigation capability with high-precision GPS (HPGPS) significantly improves the precision of hole locations within drill patterns, thereby boosting productivity. Furthermore, it enables the movement of the drill between holes without requiring the operator inside the cab.

Single and Multipass Angle Drilling: The drill rig offers versatility by allowing operators to perform multiple functions with a single unit. Automatic mast positioning and adaptive auto-leveling enhance the efficiency of single and multipass angle drilling, providing flexibility in various drilling scenarios.
