Dando Ibex Features

Fitted with unique climbing winch and hydraulic anchors, the rig’s computer controlled auto-levelling, with manual override, means the working platform automatically levels, front to back and side to side, as the rig climbs the slope.

Dual mast with winch for conducting dynamic sampling, SPT and rotary drilling. Capable of tripping out 4m drill rods with a variable height mast extension.

A hydraulically deployed walkway is mounted to the rig providing a safe working area and easy access to the work bench and drill mast.

Fully radio remote controlled rig articulation and tracking, with manually operated drilling controls.
