This Atlas Copco ROC D9 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a surface drill rig or blast hole drill — designed for drilling vertical holes in surface mining, quarrying, and construction applications. Atlas Copco is a well-established Swedish manufacturer with a long history of producing drilling equipment, compressors, and industrial machinery for the mining, construction, and energy sectors worldwide.
Power comes from a Caterpillar C7 Tier III diesel engine, a widely respected mid-range industrial engine known for its reliability and serviceability in demanding field conditions. The machine is configured for the 3.5 to 4.5 inch hole diameter class and is set up for T51 drill steel, indicating the rod and bit connection system in use. The drifter fitted is a COP model, which is Atlas Copco's own line of hydraulic rock drills, responsible for delivering percussive energy to the drill string.
Hour readings are notably low for a machine of this type. Total machine hours stand at 3,212, with percussion hours — the measure most directly reflecting wear on the drifter and associated components — recorded at just 976. The disparity between total hours and percussion hours suggests the unit has spent a significant portion of its life in tramming, positioning, or standby rather than active drilling, which is generally favourable from a drifter wear standpoint.
The unit is described as being in active daily use at the time of listing and remains available for sale. It is located in Kentucky, USA.
