Heavy-Duty Drilling Capability
The Montabert HC160 is a hydraulic drifter developed for heavy-duty drilling operations where large hole diameters and difficult ground conditions are involved. Its operating concept is based on delivering very high impact energy at a relatively low frequency, allowing efficient rock breaking in demanding surface and underground environments.
Design Focus
Built around a robust monobloc body, the HC160 is engineered to withstand intensive drilling cycles and harsh operating conditions. Manufactured in France using high-quality steel and advanced production processes, the drifter combines structural strength with long-term reliability. The integrated hydraulic stop contributes to extended service life by protecting critical components during operation.
Operational Advantages
- High impact energy output suitable for large-diameter hole drilling.
- Low operating frequency optimized for heavy-duty and abrasive rock conditions.
- Stable performance in long hole drilling applications.
- Durable construction designed for continuous and demanding work cycles.
- Effective operation in both surface and underground environments.
Typical Applications
- Large-diameter drilling in surface quarry and benching operations.
- Anchoring work in construction and mining projects.
- Long hole drilling in underground mining.
- Boring and survey drilling in difficult geological conditions.
