This Ingersoll Rand ECM690 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a crawler drill or rock drill — built for percussive rotary drilling applications such as quarrying, mining, and construction blasting. Ingersoll Rand is a long-established manufacturer of industrial and construction equipment, with a strong reputation in compressed air, drilling, and ground-engaging machinery serving heavy industries worldwide. This example was manufactured in 1999 and is currently located in Kentucky, USA.
The machine is equipped with an HC200A drifter, a hydraulic percussive rock-drilling unit that delivers the hammering and rotation required for drilling blast holes. It is configured for a 3.5- to 4.5-inch hole diameter class, making it suitable for medium to large production drilling work. An extendable boom expands the machine's reach and positioning flexibility, allowing the operator to drill at varied angles and locations without repositioning the carrier as frequently.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3306 diesel engine, a well-regarded inline six-cylinder unit commonly used in heavy drilling and construction plant. Onboard air is provided by an integrated Ingersoll Rand compressor rated at 420 CFM at 150 PSI, supplying the compressed air needed to flush cuttings from the drill hole during operation — a critical function in maintaining drilling efficiency and bit life. The inclusion of a rod changer automates the addition and removal of drill rods, reducing manual handling and enabling deeper holes to be drilled with less downtime between rod changes. The machine is described as ready for work.
