Automated handling of rods and casings

The MC 20 A is a compact yet powerful drilling rig designed with a special focus on demanding heavy-duty applications such as double head drilling with dual rotary or a rotary/rotary-percussion system (with top or down-the-hole hammers). To ensure enhanced mobility and stability while operating with heavy drilling systems, the MC 20 A features oscillating crawler tracks as a standard. The enhanced stability and fully articulated kinematics of the rig allow for safe work even in confined spaces. A major feature of the MC 20 A is the innovative carousel, which allows for mechanised handling of drill rods and casings, increasing productivity and safety. The carousel can handle up to 9 pairs of rods and casings, reaching a maximum drill string length of 30 m. To further speed up the processes on site, the MC 20 A can be offered with the Comacchio patented casing extractor. Thanks to the Comacchio all-in-one radio control system, the MC 20 A is fully remote controlled, including rod handling functions.
