JCD800 Crawler-Mounted Core Drilling Rig

BQ CORE FROM 1 000 METRES. DRIVEN BY REMOTE, BUILT FOR THE MOUNTAIN.

The JCD800 is a crawler-mounted surface coring rig for serious exploration programmes. It pulls BQ wireline core from 1 000 m, NQ from 800 m and HQ from 500 m — deep-hole capability in a compact tracked package designed for narrow, steep access roads where bigger rigs simply can't go.

Modern drive line. A Dongfeng Cummins QSB3.9 delivers 93 kW through a 28 MPa load-sensing hydraulic system with Danfoss pumps and motors. The side-slip power head produces 2 500 N·m of torque and swings clear of the hole in seconds for fast core retrieval — safer and quicker round trips.

Remote-control tracking. The operator walks the rig into position by remote with pilot-controlled electro-hydraulics — nobody stands next to five and a half tons of machine on a 30° slope. On the hole, a hydraulic chuck with nitrogen gas-spring clamping gives long-term, fatigue-free grip on the rods.

Deep-hole support built in. The core-picking winch carries 850 m of wire at 110 m/min, the HengYang Zhongdi BW160/10 pump delivers 160 L/min at 10 MPa for flushing at depth, and the 3 200 mm chain feed keeps rod handling efficient. The lightweight aluminium-alloy mast installs and strips quickly between holes.

Delivered drill-ready by Drillbuilders. We supply the JCD800 with commissioning support and back it from our Mokopane workshop. One supplier, one phone call.
