Epiroc Launches ‘Try-and-Buy’ Drill Rig Program

Nov. 11, 2020

Epiroc has introduced the Try-and-Buy program for the FlexiROC T30 R construction edition tophammer surface drill rig. The program offers free jobsite testing of the drill. 

The drill is an improved version of the IR ECM 580 construction rig that tracks back from Epiroc to Atlas Copco and Ingersoll Rand. The rig is ideal for drilling applications such as road construction, foundation drilling, and quarrying. 

The Try-and-Buy program includes a demo of the FlexiROC T30 R on the customer’s jobsite. For a limited time, participants get up to 30 engine-hours to experience the efficiency and safety benefits of the machine. If the machine is a good fit, customers can buy the machine they demo and receive special financing or a consumables package to accompany the machine. The installation and dismantling are performed by an Epiroc technician. 

The FlexiROC T30 R provides rugged mobility and stability in all conditions and terrain. The boom reaches up to 17 feet and has an 80-degree swing radius. This type of reach translates to more holes per setup, according to the company.

Radio remote control comes standard, giving the operator full tramming and drilling control while operating from a safe distance. The FlexiROC T30 R can also be equipped with a hydraulic winch for secure anchoring on slopes up to 30 degrees. 

The FlexiROC T30 R meets Tier 4-F engine emissions standards and features self-adjusting RPM. The impact and drill feed pressure automatically adjust to ensure increased service life of rock drilling tools.
