This Sandvik DX700 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a down-the-hole drill or surface drill rig — a machine type designed for percussive rock drilling in surface mining, quarrying, and construction applications. Sandvik is a globally recognised Swedish engineering company with a strong presence in the mining and rock excavation industry, manufacturing drilling equipment, rock tools, and related machinery for demanding surface and underground operations.
The drill is configured for the T45 rod system and falls within the 3.5- to 4.5-inch hole class, indicating the diameter range it is set up to produce. Power comes from a CAT diesel engine, and the machine is equipped with an HL700 drifter, which serves as the hydraulic rock drill responsible for delivering percussive energy to the drill string. A 120-foot turntable is included in the setup.
Hour meter readings provide useful insight into the machine's service history. Engine hours stand at approximately 10,300, while percussion hours — the measure most directly linked to drifter and consumable wear — are recorded at approximately 4,450. The drifter was last serviced at 4,368 percussion hours, meaning it has seen relatively light use since its most recent service interval. The drill is located in Kentucky, USA, and is offered in used condition from the year 2000.
