The Soosan JD800E-II is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a down-the-hole drill or DTH drill — a category of heavy drilling equipment designed to bore vertical or near-vertical holes into rock and hard ground formations. Vertical drills of this type are widely used in mining, quarrying, construction, and water-well applications where deep, accurately positioned holes are required. Soosan is a South Korean manufacturer with an established presence in the construction and mining equipment sectors, producing a range of attachments and purpose-built machines including hydraulic breakers and drilling equipment.
This 2020 machine is powered by a Cummins engine, a well-regarded industrial engine brand commonly specified in demanding off-highway equipment for its durability and parts availability. The drill logs 4,149 engine hours and 1,634 percussion hours, providing a clear picture of both overall machine use and the wear accumulated specifically on the drilling components.
The drifter unit is a YH80A, which is the hydraulic percussive head responsible for delivering the impact energy that drives the drill string into the formation. The machine is currently configured for T51 drill steel, a common and widely available threaded rod system used in medium to large-scale drilling operations. An automatic rod changer is fitted, which allows drill rods to be added or removed from the string mechanically without manual handling, improving cycle times and reducing operator fatigue during extended drilling operations.
This machine is located in Kentucky, USA, and is offered at $135,000.
