Full hydraulic crawler core exploration drill rig

Product Introduction

The CX-1600 full hydraulic crawler core exploration drill rig is a next-generation, high-efficiency rock coring solution developed by our company. Designed for solid mineral exploration and engineering geological investigation under complex conditions, this hydraulic crawler core drill rig features a fully hydraulic drive system and a robust crawler undercarriage, delivering powerful performance, excellent mobility, and strong adaptability to challenging job sites.

Powered by a high-capacity hydraulic unit, the CX-1600 core drilling machine offers infinite speed control and precise operation, ensuring smooth drilling and significantly improving core recovery rates. Its crawler chassis provides low ground pressure and strong climbing ability, making it ideal for off-road drilling in mountains, jungles, wetlands, and other roadless areas. Integrated with a hydraulic top drive, automatic unscrewing, and hydraulic clamping, this rig reduces labor intensity while boosting drilling efficiency and on-site safety.

Built with a modular design, the CX-1600 hydraulic core drill is easy to maintain and can be optionally equipped with different drill rods, mud pumps, or auxiliary winches to meet various project needs. It is capable of core drilling up to 1,600 meters (depending on drill rod type and geological conditions). Widely used in geological surveys, mine verification, hydropower projects, and railway bridge foundation exploration, this crawler mounted core drill rig has earned high praise from customers worldwide.

Applications of the CX-1600 Full Hydraulic Crawler Core Exploration Drill Rig

Thanks to its fully hydraulic drive, crawler mobility, 1,600m drilling capacity, and modular design, the CX-1600 core drill rig is widely used in the following fields:

1.Solid Mineral Exploration

Ideal for medium-to-deep hole core drilling in metallic and non-metallic deposits, obtaining high-quality core samples to support resource estimation.

2.Engineering Geological Investigation

Suitable for geological surveys of railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, and large buildings — determining foundation rock and soil properties and structures.

3.Hydrogeological & Geothermal Exploration

Applied in water well drilling, groundwater monitoring well installation, and shallow geothermal exploration to meet water resource assessment and development needs.

4.Hydropower & Water Conservancy Projects

Used in dam foundation investigation, curtain grouting holes, and rock mass quality evaluation for dams, reservoirs, and diversion tunnels.

5.Mine Verification & Production Exploration

Ideal for peripheral prospecting, infill drilling, and production exploration in both open-pit and underground mines — quickly verifying orebody extension and grade variation.

6.Geohazard & Environmental Geological Survey

Deployed in landslide, collapse, debris flow investigations as well as contaminated site sampling and drilling — providing data support for remediation plans.

7.Off-Road & Rugged Terrain Operations

Leveraging the superior mobility of its crawler undercarriage, the rig can independently move and drill in mountains, jungles, swamps, mudflats, hills, and other hard-to-reach areas.
