About this machine
This Atlas Copco ROC L8 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a rotary drill rig or top-hammer drill — a category of heavy drilling equipment used for blast hole drilling, quarrying, mining, and construction excavation applications. Atlas Copco is a well-established Swedish industrial manufacturer with a long history of producing drilling equipment, compressors, and related machinery for the mining, quarrying, and construction industries worldwide.
This 2008 machine is located in Kentucky, USA, and is powered by a CAT C-15 Tier 3 engine, a large-displacement diesel unit widely used in heavy equipment for its durability and power output. The drill is configured as a 30-bar unit, meaning the feed pressure available for drilling operations is rated at 30 bar, which is relevant for understanding penetration capability and the range of materials the machine can work in.
The rig is set up to run 4-inch drill pipe, establishing the pipe diameter for which the rotary and feed systems are currently configured. The rod carousel is set up for 16-foot rod lengths, meaning the machine can handle and automatically cycle drill rods of that length, which influences achievable hole depth per pass and overall operational efficiency.
Hour meter readings provide a useful picture of the machine's working history. Total frame hours stand at 6,020, reflecting cumulative engine and airframe use, while rotational hours are recorded at 3,050 — roughly half the frame hours — indicating the proportion of time the drill head itself has been actively turning. This split between frame and rotational hours is a standard reference point when assessing wear on the drill's drive components relative to the overall machine.
