This Driltech D45KS is a vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a rotary drill rig — a type of machine used for drilling blast holes in rock and overburden, commonly employed in mining, quarrying, and construction applications. Driltech is a well-established manufacturer of surface drilling equipment with a long history of serving the mining and aggregate industries.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3406E diesel engine, a well-regarded inline six-cylinder unit widely recognised for its durability and serviceability in heavy-duty applications. The drill is configured for 1,050 CFM of air at 100 PSI, which drives the down-the-hole hammer or rotary bit and provides the necessary airflow for effective hole cleaning and cuttings removal. Drill steel is sized at 5½ inches in diameter with a 30-foot section length, indicating capability for substantial-diameter blast holes at depth.
The machine is equipped with a dust collector and an extendable dust hood, both of which work together to capture and suppress the rock dust generated during drilling — features that are important for operator safety, environmental compliance, and maintaining visibility at the drill face. The extendable hood allows the system to adapt to varying collar conditions at the top of the hole.
This 2001 machine is located in Kentucky, USA, and is reported by the seller to be in good working condition.
