This Hughes LDH60 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a drill rig or drilling rig — designed for deep vertical boring applications such as water well drilling, geotechnical investigation, or foundation work. Hughes is a recognized name in the drilling equipment industry, known for producing heavy-duty drilling machinery for demanding ground-engagement applications.
This particular machine is mounted on a Texoma 900 undercarriage, providing the mobile base from which the drill operates. The tower stands 60 feet tall and is equipped with an 8-foot outer bar and a 6-inch inner bar, accommodating the reach and tooling required for deep-hole drilling operations. The rotation head uses a Rotec bearing combined with a hydraulic planetary swing motor, a configuration that delivers controlled, high-torque rotary motion suited to challenging formations.
Power comes from a Deutz 175 HP diesel engine, a well-regarded powerplant in heavy equipment applications known for reliability and serviceability in the field. The machine has an operating weight of 77,000 pounds, reflecting the substantial, stable platform necessary for vertical drilling work of this scale.
The machine is located in New Jersey, USA, and is offered at $20,000.
