This Furukawa HCR1500ED II is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a down-the-hole drill or rock drill — a type of machine used in surface drilling applications such as quarrying, mining, and construction to bore vertical or angled holes into rock and hard ground. Furukawa is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long history of producing rock drilling and demolition equipment for the mining, quarrying, and civil engineering industries.
This example was manufactured in 2013 and is currently located in Kentucky, USA. It has accumulated 6,690 total machine hours, with 2,322 of those recorded as percussion or impact hours — a particularly useful figure for vertical drills, since the percussive mechanism is the most wear-critical component and its independent hour count gives a clearer picture of drivetrain and drill head condition than total hours alone. The comparatively low percussion hours relative to total hours suggests the machine has spent a meaningful portion of its working life in tramming, positioning, or other non-drilling activity, which is generally a positive indicator for the condition of the impact system.
The seller describes the machine as very well maintained, which is consistent with the hour figures presented. It is offered in used condition.
