About this machine
This Sandvik DX800 is a used vertical drill, a type of machine also commonly referred to as a rotary drill rig, designed for drilling vertical boreholes in mining, quarrying, and construction applications. Sandvik is a well-established Swedish engineering company with a long history of manufacturing drilling equipment, rock tools, and mining machinery for surface and underground operations worldwide.
This particular unit dates from 2012 and is located in Kentucky, USA. It falls within the 3.5 to 4.5 inch drill hole class, positioning it as a mid-range surface drill suitable for production blasthole drilling in hard rock environments. Power comes from a CAT engine, offering the reliability and parts availability associated with Caterpillar's well-known diesel powertrains. The machine is equipped with a 180-degree turntable, allowing the drill mast to rotate through a half-circle arc and giving operators greater flexibility in hole positioning without repositioning the entire machine.
Recorded hours on the CAT engine stand at 3,200, while percussion hours — the measure of actual drilling time logged by the rock drill hammer — are reported at 1,360. The notably lower percussion hours relative to total engine hours indicates that a significant portion of machine operation involved tramming, positioning, and auxiliary work rather than active rock breaking, which is generally a positive indicator of drill string and hammer wear. The seller describes the condition as excellent.
