LX™6 Multipurpose Surface Drill Rig

COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT, AND POWERFUL

The LX6 weighs only 6,500 kg (14,330 lb) and is less than 2 m wide providing excellent site accessibility. The heavy-duty mast design and two-speed drill head can deliver up to 6,000 NM (4,440 lb-ft) of torque. The pull back of the LX6 is 55 kN (12,364 lb), providing a powerful drilling solution in a small and lightweight footprint.
