The Atlas Copco ROC L8 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a rotary drill rig or DTH drill rig — designed for drilling vertical boreholes in surface mining, quarrying, and construction applications. Atlas Copco is a well-established Swedish industrial manufacturer with a long history of producing rock drilling equipment, air compressors, and related machinery for the mining, construction, and energy sectors.
This 2008 machine is configured for DTH (down-the-hole) drilling in the 4.5 to 8 inch hole diameter class, making it suited to medium and large-scale production drilling. Power is provided by a CAT C15 Tier 3 diesel engine, a well-regarded heavy-duty powerplant commonly found in demanding off-highway applications. The onboard high-pressure air compressor delivers 995 CFM at 435 PSI, providing the sustained airflow required for DTH hammer operation at depth.
The drill is built around a single boom system with a hydraulic cylinder operated feed system and an aluminium profile feed beam, which provides a combination of structural rigidity and reduced weight along the feed axis. The rotary head is a hydraulic-operated DHR48H56-3 unit, which drives the drill string and controls rotation speed and torque during drilling operations.
The machine has accumulated 7,736 total hours and is offered in used condition from Kentucky, USA. It is equipped with a breakout table for rod handling and drill string disassembly, as well as a dust collector to manage cuttings and airborne particles at the collar of the hole.
