The Fraste MX 140 utilises a CAT C4.4 diesel engine (Stage V 148Hp or Stage IIIA 142Hp) with a weight of 9.4 tonnes, a width of 2000mm and a body length of 3260mm. The mast supports drilling between 45° and vertical and can be fitted with the Fraste automatic rod handler ‘manipulator’ as well as the automatic core barrel handler. This rig is capable of handling drill rods of up to 3m.
The Fraste MX 140’s CAT C4.4 (148Hp) diesel engine 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 C4.4 engine (142Hp) has a Stage IIIA and Tier 3 rating, making it less suitable for urban areas due to higher levels of emissions.
The modularity of the Fraste MX 140 includes winch options, pump options, a reverse circulation kit, a cyclone collector and rod gravity slips, to ensure all your drilling requirements are met.
The applications of the Fraste MX 140 consist of mineral exploration, including diamond coring, angle drilling, Reverse Circulation drilling and air core drilling.
