R-38, R-42, R-44, R-48 Track Mounted Diedrich D-120

Earth Drilling’s Diedrich Drill manufactured D-120 is an all-purpose drill rig, powerful enough to handle large diameter hollow stem augers, yet versatile enough to drill efficiently on smaller auger, odex (115mm system), air rotary, and core (HQ3 size) projects.

Earth Drilling’s track mounted Diedrich D-120 drill rigs are mounted on Morooka MST-1500 carriers. These carriers are the result of over 50 years of joint development between Bridgestone and Morooka. The rubber tracks combine the characteristics of a tire equipped vehicle, such as speed and a smooth ride, while providing the traction of a steel track. Rubber tracks offer the best of all worlds with low ground pressure at 4.76 lbs/sq in, minimal ground disturbance, high performance movement and excellent traction. Steel cleats can be attached during operation for severe winter and icy conditions.
