This Atlas Copco ROC L8 is a used vertical drill — also commonly referred to as a surface drill rig or blast hole drill — a type of machine designed for drilling vertical or angled blast holes into rock and earth, widely used in mining, quarrying, and construction applications. Atlas Copco is a well-established Swedish industrial manufacturer with a long history of producing drilling equipment, air compressors, and power tools for the mining, construction, and infrastructure sectors.
Power comes from a Caterpillar C13 Tier 3 diesel engine, and the frame has accumulated 8,443 total hours. Notably, the engine has been rebuilt and carries only approximately 2,000 hours since that rebuild, meaning the powertrain is significantly fresher than the overall frame hours suggest. An onboard high-pressure air compressor rated at 858 CFM at 363 PSI provides the compressed air supply necessary for down-the-hole drilling operations.
The drill is configured for the 4- to 7-inch DTH (down-the-hole) class, meaning it is suited to driving hammer bits in that diameter range directly into the rock face. The feed system is hydraulically operated via cylinder actuation and runs along an aluminium profile feed beam, keeping the drill string on track during penetration. The rotary head is a hydraulically operated DHR6H56-3 unit, which drives rotation of the drill string and bit. The machine features a single-boom system and is equipped with a breakout table for unscrewing and handling drill rods, as well as a dust collector to manage cuttings and airborne particles at the hole collar.
The machine is located in Kentucky, USA.
