This Atlas Copco Flexiroc D65 is a used vertical drill — also commonly referred to as a rotary drill rig or down-the-hole drill — a type of machine designed for percussive or rotary drilling into rock and hard ground formations. Vertical drills of this class are widely used in surface mining, quarrying, and construction blasting operations where accurately placed, high-productivity boreholes are required. Atlas Copco is a well-established Swedish industrial group with a long history of manufacturing compressed air equipment, construction tools, and drilling machinery for the mining, quarrying, and infrastructure sectors worldwide.
This 2012 machine is classed as DTH (down-the-hole), meaning it uses a pneumatic hammer positioned at the bottom of the drill string to deliver high-frequency impact energy directly at the bit face — a method well suited to hard and abrasive rock conditions. It is located in Kentucky, USA.
The powerplant is a Caterpillar C-15 diesel engine, which has been fitted with a new turbocharger, offering a degree of confidence in the condition of that component. The machine shows 2,800 hours on both the frame and engine, providing a clear picture of overall usage.
Onboard air is rated at 1,000 CFM at 435 psi, which is the compressed air supply driving the DTH hammer, and the combination of high volume and high pressure is appropriate for productive drilling at depth. An auto boom greaser is fitted, automating lubrication of the boom assembly to reduce wear and maintenance burden during operation. The standard feed configuration is in place, and a breakout table is included to assist with rod handling and string disassembly.
Safety and operator support features include a fire suppression system, a rear-view camera, and what appears to be a factory or OEM-level equipment specification overall. The combination of DTH classification, high-pressure onboard air, and the included ancillary equipment makes this a well-specified machine for hard-rock surface drilling applications.
