This Ingersoll Rand ECM690 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a down-the-hole drill or rock drill — built for drilling operations in mining, quarrying, construction, and similar ground-engagement applications. Ingersoll Rand is a long-established industrial manufacturer with a broad portfolio spanning compressed air, drilling, and heavy construction equipment, and their drill rigs are widely used across the extractive and civil engineering industries.
The machine is powered by a Caterpillar CAT 3306 diesel engine, a well-regarded inline six-cylinder unit commonly found in heavy drilling and construction equipment where sustained power output and reliability in demanding field conditions are required. The drill carries a YH Series drifter, specifically the YH110V hydraulic drifter, which serves as the percussive and rotational mechanism responsible for driving the drill string into the rock face.
The unit is configured for T51 drill string tooling, a widely used shank and bit standard in medium-to-large blast-hole drilling. It is set up for the 4.5-inch to 5.5-inch hole diameter class, making it suited to production drilling work at that bore size range. An extendable boom provides reach and angular flexibility at the drilling face, and the machine is also equipped with a rod changer, allowing drill rods to be added or removed mechanically rather than by hand, which improves operational efficiency and reduces manual handling during rod extension work.
This machine is located in Kentucky, USA, and is offered in used condition from a 1996 build year.
