2010 - Reedrill SKF Vertical Drill

About this machine

This Reedrill SKF is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a blast hole drill or rotary drill rig — a type of machine used in surface mining, quarrying, and construction to bore precisely positioned holes into rock and ground for blasting or exploration purposes. Reedrill is a well-established manufacturer of drilling equipment with a long history of serving the mining and quarrying industries, known for producing rugged, production-oriented drill rigs built for demanding surface applications.

Power comes from a Caterpillar C27 Tier 2 engine rated at 800 horsepower at 2,100 RPM, a large displacement diesel unit well suited to the sustained demands of rotary drilling. Air supply is handled by a Sullair 1550/350 compressor, meaning this machine is capable of delivering 1,550 cubic feet per minute at 350 PSI — a high-output specification that supports efficient cuttings removal and productivity at depth. The drill is set up for 5-inch diameter by 35-foot drill steel, defining the bit size and rod length configuration ready for immediate production use.

Dust management is provided by a Tipton FC4500 dust collector, a dedicated filtration unit that captures cuttings and particulate at the collar of the hole — an important feature both for operator health and regulatory compliance. A Caterpillar water injection system is also fitted, which suppresses dust by introducing water into the borehole during drilling. Fire suppression is included, providing an important layer of protection around the engine and hydraulic systems. Lubrication is handled automatically by a Lincoln Auto Lube system, reducing manual servicing requirements and helping to maintain key wear components consistently.

The undercarriage retains approximately 90% remaining life, indicating very low wear on the crawlers relative to the machine's age. The seller describes this drill as being in excellent working condition, and the combination of well-preserved undercarriage and comprehensive ancillary equipment supports that assessment. This is a 2010 machine located in Kentucky, USA.
