The LM132 MDR marks the newest generation of our flagship self-powered exploration Mobile Drill Rig. This new robust mobile platform delivers dozens of safety and productivity enhancements, plus several essential game-changers, including an air-conditioned cab with full drill-from-cabin option and Boart Longyear’s latest Rod Inner Tube and Outer Tube Handling system.
ROBUST & STABLE MINE SPEC CARRIER
The LM132 Mobile Drill Rig is an efficient and versatile machine designed for challenging underground environments. It features a robust, stable mine-spec carrier that facilitates faster, easier rig movements. Equipped with four-wheel drive and a diesel engine, the carrier can travel at up to 10 km/h (6.2 mph), enabling it to navigate small underground drives with ease.
FIRE SUPPRESSION
To meet the strictest safety requirements, the MDR can be delivered with our standard fire suppression system or fitted with a customized solution to suit your local requirements.
ON BOARD ROD STORAGE
The fold-away rod storage arms are engineered to carry up to 210 m (700 ft) of N-size rods on board (3 m or 10 ft lengths).
DRILL POWER PACK
132 kW (177 hp) electric motor powering the drill and air-conditioning system, with a configurable soft starter that allows the drill to be detuned to suit available mine power as needed.
SEMI-AUTOMATED ROD, INNER TUBE & OUTER TUBE HANDLING SYSTEM (B, N, H)
Safety and productivity are further enhanced by the semi-automated rod, inner tube, and outer tube handling system, which allows a single operator to safely manage the loading and unloading of coring rods and tubes. A wireline tensioning system enables the handling of inner tubes while the overshot remains attached.
DCi SEMI-AUTOMATED CONTROL SYSTEM
The proven DCi Control system with laser & area clear safety management system, Unattended drilling and Data Logging plus for the first time the ability to drill from the safety and comfort of the air-conditioned FOPS rated cabin.
700 FEED FRAME WITH EXTENSION STINGER
The MDR comes as standard with Boart Longyear’s proven 700 Series 1.8m stroke direct coupled feed frame, with the optional of a short 1.0m stroke feed frame for tighter setups (rod handling not available with 1.0m stroke). The telescoping mast extension with stinger kit allows the mast to be secured without the need to drill and anchor.
DRILL FROM CABIN
Choose from the familiar remote Operator Control Panel (OCP), which can be positioned wherever the operator desires, or for the first time, the operator can control the drill from a second OCP mounted within the comfort and safety of the air-conditioned FOPS-rated cabin.
AIR-CONDITIONED ROPS & FOPS CABIN
Comfort and safety are prioritized in the MDR’s air-conditioned ROPS & FOPS-rated cabin. The air conditioning is powered by the diesel engine while the rig is in motion or by the electrically powered hydraulic system during drilling, ensuring a comfortable working environment in all conditions. The 2.8m tall cabin allows the operator to stand while drilling and provides improved visibility during tramming. The spacious cabin features USB device charging, an A4-sized desk, and a bench, providing a comfortable space for an off-sider to cool down in the cabin (for stationary use only).
