This Caterpillar MD5090 is a used vertical drill, a type of machine also commonly referred to as a rotary drill rig, designed for drilling boreholes into rock and earth in applications such as mining, quarrying, construction, and water well development. Caterpillar is a globally recognised manufacturer of heavy construction and mining equipment, known for producing robust, high-productivity machinery built for demanding industrial environments.
This 2007 machine is equipped with an HPR51 drifter, the percussion unit responsible for delivering the impact energy that drives the drill bit through rock, making it well suited to hard-rock drilling operations. Power is provided by a CAT C-9 diesel engine, a Caterpillar in-line six-cylinder powerplant widely used across the company's own equipment lines and known for reliability in continuous-duty applications. The drill also features a rod changer, an important productivity accessory that automates the addition and removal of drill rods during operation, reducing manual handling and improving cycle times at depth.
The seller describes the unit as being in excellent condition and states that it will be cleaned and professionally serviced prior to shipment. The machine is located in Kentucky, USA.
