You’ve got a rig that needs to handle hard ground, and we’ve seen these things punch through shale and granite without stalling—the torque’s 5,600 N.m and rotation speed runs from 0 to 80 RPM, so you’re not stuck at one speed. That 35-meter depth with a 152 to 203mm hole diameter covers most surfce mining jobs, and it’s a diesel engine, so fuel availability is straightforward pretty much anywhere.

The feeding force is 40 kN, but what you really feel is the pull-up at 50 kN when you’re extracting a stuck pipe—it’s got some grunt. Track tramming is 3 km/h, which isn’t fast, but it climbs a 25-degree slope, so uneven terrain isn’t a dealbreaker. We usually have these in stock, but confirm lead time for EU or UK delivery since import docs add a week or so. It’s CE and ISO 9001 certified, and TUV and SGS have signed off too, so customs clearance is smoother than with unbranded rigs.


One thing buyers forget to ask is the dust collection—it’s a two-stage dry system, and that matters for worksite compliance in the US where OSHA gets picky. The 18 months or 3,000 hours, which is better than reagent grade for this class, but don’t expect it to handle soft soil well—it’s built for rock, not mud. Anyway, teh 25-ton weight means you’ll need a proper trailer for transport.

Pipe diameter is 114mm standdard, but you can swap to 102 or 127mm depending on your formation—we’ve had guys run 7-meter lengths and others prefer 5 or 6 meters for tighter spaces. The ground clearance is 420mm, so boulders under the belly won’t stop you easily. You’ll want to check the MOQ for optional parts like dust shroud, but the base unit ships with a COA and SDS, no fuss.

It basically works out to about 50 units or so per quarter for us, and we ship globally, but EU buyers often ask for the TUV certificte upfront—we’ve got that ready. The overall dimnesions are 12.56 by 2.7 by 3.56 meters, so make sure your container or flatrack fits that. That 156.2 kN traction force? It’s what keeps you moving on loose gravel, not just a number on a spec sheet.
Our MOQ is 1 unit for the D480A, but we can discuss bulk orders if you need multiple rigs for a fleet.
Lead time is around 30-45 days from order confirmation, depending on current production schedule and customization requests.
Yes, the D480A is certified with CE, ISO 9001, TUV, and SGS. We provide all certification documents with the shipment.
Absolutely, the D480A supports optional drill pipe lengths of 5m or 6m. Just specify your preference when ordering.
The rig is shipped on a flat rack or in a 40ft open-top container, with protective wrapping. Store it in a dry, covered area to avoid moisture damage to the diesel engine and electrical components.
