This Ingersoll Rand ECM590 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a down-the-hole drill or rock drill — a type of machine designed to bore vertical holes into rock and earth for applications such as mining, quarrying, water well drilling, and construction blasting. Ingersoll Rand is a well-established manufacturer of compressed air and drilling equipment with a long history of supplying heavy-duty machinery to the mining and construction industries.
This 1999 machine is equipped with a YH80A drifter, which is the percussive drilling unit mounted to the drill mast responsible for delivering the impact energy and rotation that drives the drill steel into the formation. It also features a manual rod changer, which allows drill rods to be added or removed from the string during drilling operations without fully manual handling at the hole collar, supporting extended-depth drilling.
The machine has received a fresh coat of paint within the last year, giving it a presentable appearance. The one known mechanical concern noted by the seller is that the engine bogs down under hydraulic pressure load, resulting in a noticeable drop in engine RPM and a reduction in overall performance. The seller suggests this may be fuel-related rather than a deeper mechanical fault, and reports that all other systems function as intended. A prospective buyer should plan to have the fuel system inspected and serviced as part of commissioning.
This machine is located in Kentucky, USA, and is offered at $40,000.
