The LF70 drill rig is a remarkable small-format exploration tool that stands out for its adaptability and efficiency. Here are some key features of this flyable surface coring drill rig:

Modular Design: The LF70’s modular design consists of seven sections that are heliportable, making it ideal for reaching remote locations. When mobilizing between sites, it reduces downtime significantly and minimizes the environmental impact on the drill site. Assembling and disassembling the rig takes less than an hour.

Lightweight: Special attention was given to the overall weight and dimensions of the drill. Each of its seven components weighs less than 585 kg (1,290 lbs) and can be easily transported by helicopter.

Solid Structural Design: The LF70’s rigid design ensures superior performance and reliability even under the toughest conditions.

Nitro Chuck™: The patented nitrogen gas spring jaws with hydraulic open/spring-close function ensure fail-safe operation during drilling.

Simple Hydraulic Design: Direct-coupled hydraulic pumps with a PTO-driven auxiliary pump allow for easy maintenance.

Flyable: The LF70 breaks down into seven flyable modules, each weighing a maximum of 585 kg (1,290 lbs).

PQ Rotation Unit: The four-speed transmission delivers high torque when needed and high speed for diamond drilling.

Self-Contained Operator Panel: The simple hydraulic system is easy to operate and maintain, with lift-to-shift levers providing additional operator safety.
