OVERVIEW OF THE kmB 1.4 DRILL'S FEATURES
VersaDrill Canada's mandate at the outset was to fill the gap for the need of a lightweight long stroke portable drill rig. The final concept to the VersaDrill
design was brought about in part by listening to the industry principals, contractors including the exploration sector. The formula for bringing this type of drill
rig to fruition was drilling know how, determination and having a good understanding of the marketplace. Aside from the numerous technical aspects of our
drill rig, the next feature is it's greater depth capacity to weight ratio brought about by the employment of aluminium and its conception. The power pack is
constructed in a two-piece configuration for transportation and to facilitate and accommodate the changing of the power type to suit either drilling application.
Particularly interesting on our drill is the rod holder and chuck that are capable of handling 1.75" to 4.9" (44,5 mm to 124 mm) diameter drill rods.
