This Atlas Copco CM780D is a used vertical drill — also known as a down-the-hole drill — a type of machine used in mining, quarrying, construction, and geotechnical applications to bore vertical or near-vertical holes into rock and earth. Atlas Copco is a well-established Swedish industrial manufacturer with a long history of producing drilling equipment, compressors, and related machinery for the mining and construction industries worldwide.
The seller's notes identify this as a DTH-class machine, confirming it operates using down-the-hole hammer drilling technology, in which the hammer follows the drill bit directly into the borehole for efficient percussive penetration at depth. Power is provided by a Caterpillar C-13 engine, a heavy-duty diesel unit well regarded in demanding equipment applications. Drill pipe is 3.5 inches in diameter. The machine has accumulated 8,961 frame and engine hours.
Several components have been replaced or are scheduled for replacement, indicating active maintenance. A new Bean pump for water injection has been fitted, which is used to suppress dust and cool the bit during drilling operations. A new hose chain was installed in 2016, and a new compressor oil cooler has also been fitted. A new windshield is noted to be installed prior to or as part of the sale.
Located in Kentucky, USA, this 2007 machine is offered in used condition with a documented service history and a number of recent mechanical updates.
