Fraste Multidrill XL 170
The Fraste Multidrill XL 170 utilises a CAT C4.4 diesel engine (173.5Hp) or a CAT C7.1 engine (173Hp), with a weight of 12 tonnes and a height of 2100mm. This combination of power and weight with all-terrain rubber tacks makes for a large powerful rig. This combination is also paired with ability to be fitted with the Fraste – Manipulator automatic drill pipe loading system.
The Fraste Multidrill XL 170’s CAT C4.4 engine (173.5Hp) was manufactured to strictly follow Environmental Protective Agency guidelines, having a Tier 4 Final engine, with EU machinery and safety regulations with a Stage V engine, producing low particulate matter (Pm) and nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions. The CAT 7.1 engine (173Hp) has a Stage IIIA and Tier 3 rating, making it less suitable for urban areas due to higher levels of emissions.
Modularity of the Fraste Multidrill XL 170 includes the option of various pumps and winch changes, providing a pull-up force between 12000daN and 18000daN, as well as a rotary head stroke range of 3700mm to 4500mm.
The uses of the Fraste Multidrill XL 170 include geotechnical drilling, with soil and rock samples for environmental monitoring and geothermal drilling.
