Description
Boart Longyear has combined proven technology from its most popular surface coring drill rigs to create the powerful LF™160. When paired with the FL262 FREEDOM™ Loader, the LF160 combination is ideal for contractors who want to target sophisticated surface drilling exploration contracts that stipulate some of the highest safety standards, without compromising on productivity.
TILTING TOP HEAD DRIVE
The tilting top drive head simplifies rod handling with built-in tools and functionality such as the rod clamp, the spring-loaded floating spindle, and the tilting function of the head.
FOOT CLAMPING AND BREAKING DEVICE
The foot clamp and breaking device is four tools built into one: the lower rod clamp, upper rod clamp, a rod making alignment device, and a rod centralizer.
VISIBLE WIRELINE
Wireline winch is located in front of the mast, inside the rotation barrier for improved visibility. The driller can monitor the wireline spooling from the control panel, avoiding tangling of wire rope typically experienced while lowering overshot.
THE FREEDOM™ LOADER (FL262)
Introducing the FL262, the first product in Boart Longyear’s emerging FREEDOM™ rod loaders, handlers, and presenters. Our cutting-edge range has been engineered with drillers’ safety and productivity front-of-mind.
