This Sandvik D25KS is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a rotary drill or blast hole drill — a heavy-duty machine designed to bore precisely positioned holes into rock and hard ground for mining, quarrying, and construction blasting operations. Sandvik is a globally recognised Swedish engineering group with deep roots in the mining and rock excavation industries, producing drilling equipment, rock tools, and related machinery that is trusted by major operations around the world.
This 2014 machine is currently located in Kentucky, USA, and has been configured for 4.5-inch diameter pipe with 3.5-inch API threading. The drill string setup includes two 30-foot pipe sections stored in pods and one 25-foot starter pipe, providing the consumables needed to get to work. The pipe configuration follows standard API threading specifications, making replacement or extension of the string straightforward using widely available components.
Power comes from a Caterpillar C18 diesel engine rated at 469 kW, a large-displacement inline-six powerplant well regarded in demanding surface drilling applications for its reliability and sustained output under heavy continuous load.
The unit is equipped with an onboard air compressor delivering 32.8 cubic metres per minute at 24.1 bar — equivalent to 1,160 cfm at 350 psi — at an operating speed of 1,800 RPM. This integrated compressed-air system drives the drill bit and clears cuttings from the hole, making the machine self-sufficient in the field without the need for a separate external compressor unit.
The machine is offered for sale at USD 750,000, with the seller indicating openness to offers.
