DM45/DM50

Built for performance, designed for comfort

The DM45 is a crawler mounted, hydraulic tophead drive, multi-pass rotary blasthole drilling rig specifically designed for production blasthole drilling. It utilizes a diesel engine to drive the air compressor and hydraulic system.

Electric over hydraulic controllers are ergonomically located so that the operator faces the drill centralizer while drilling. The DM45 is available in both high pressure and low pressure models to fit your tricone bit or DTH drilling needs.


Main features
  • The new cab design allows a direct line of sight from the operator's seat to the drill table
  • The powerpack maximizes mechanical efficency and isolates the components from drilling and propeling shock loads 

  • The engine and airend combinations are designed to deliver optimum air and horsepower to meet the toughest drilling conditions without sacrificing power
