The Sandvik DX800 is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a top hammer drill rig — designed for production drilling operations in mining, quarrying, and construction applications. Sandvik is a well-established Swedish manufacturer with a long history of producing rock drilling and excavation equipment for the global mining and construction industries.
This machine dates from 2006 and is currently located in Kentucky, USA. It is equipped with a CAT engine providing the power source, and features an HL800 drifter, which is the percussive rock-drilling unit responsible for delivering impact energy to the drill string. The HL800 drifter places this rig in the 3.5 to 4.5 inch hole diameter class, meaning it is configured for drilling holes within that bore size range.
Hour meter readings provide a useful picture of the machine's work history. Total recorded hours stand at 8,200, while percussion hours — the hours during which the drifter has been actively drilling — are logged at 3,650. The difference between these two figures indicates that a significant portion of the total machine time has been spent on tramming, positioning, and other non-drilling activities rather than on active rock breaking, which is a normal characteristic of a machine of this type.
