This Sandvik D45KS is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a rotary drill or blast hole drill — a type of machine used in surface mining, quarrying, and construction to bore precisely positioned holes into rock and ground for blasting, exploration, or ground improvement operations. Sandvik is a well-established Swedish engineering company with a long history of manufacturing heavy drilling, mining, and rock excavation equipment for the extractive and construction industries worldwide.
The machine was built in 2010 and is currently located in Kentucky, USA. Power comes from a Cat C15 engine that has accumulated approximately 1,900 hours of use, a relatively modest figure for a machine of this class and an indicator of the engine's remaining service life. The onboard air system consists of a 1050/100 Sullair compressor carrying approximately 500 hours, meaning it has seen considerably less use than the prime mover and is in an early stage of its working life. The drill is also equipped with a dust collector, a standard and important feature for maintaining visibility and air quality at the drill site.
Steel is specified at 5½ inches in diameter and 30 feet in length, providing the buyer with a clear picture of the drill string configuration included with the machine. According to the seller, the drill is currently undergoing shop preparation and was expected to be ready for production by the first quarter of 2025.
