This Ingersoll Rand ECM370 is a used vertical drill, a type of machine commonly referred to as a rock drill or down-the-hole drill, built for penetrating hard formations in mining, quarrying, construction, and geotechnical applications. Ingersoll Rand is a well-established industrial manufacturer with a long history of producing compressed air and drilling equipment for heavy industry worldwide. This example dates from 2005 and is located in Kentucky, USA.
The machine is fitted with a VL 140 drifter, the percussive drilling unit that delivers the impact energy required to break rock and advance the drill string. A key feature of this configuration is the dual boom controls, noted as a rare option, which allows the operator to manage boom positioning from two control stations, offering greater flexibility and operational convenience on site. The boom itself is extendable, giving the drill additional reach and the ability to adapt to varying face geometries or working positions without repositioning the entire machine.
Dust collection equipment is included, capturing the fine particulate generated during drilling to maintain a safer working environment and comply with site dust-management requirements. A water injection system is also fitted, providing an alternative or supplementary method of dust suppression by introducing water directly into the drill hole during operation. Hydraulic centralizers are present as well, functioning to align and stabilise the drill steel within the hole, helping maintain accuracy and reducing wear on both the rod and the drifter.
