Technical specification
Flexible enough to take on almost any job
The C6 surface core drilling rig is part of the Boyles range, a new generation of quality drilling rigs that combine productivity with a favorable life cycle cost.
C6 represents the most flexible rig size in the Boyles range and is available in trailer-mounted ( C6) or crawler-mounted (C6C) versions.
Safe and ergonomic
• Two E stops on the drill unit are standard and C6C has another E stop for the Radio Remote Control.
• Drill operators are protected from the rotation unit by a safety cage.
• Possible to operate by feel while focusing on the drilling operation, thanks to the operator friendly control panel.
Flexible drilling rig size
• Compact structure, giving excellent space utilization using fitted modules.
• Foldable 2-section mast simplifies short-distance transport of the rig.
Reliable and powerful
Both the C6 and C6C are equipped with:
• A powerful main hoist.
• A rod holder with a long-life gas cartridge that handles rods from BO to PO size and casing up to HW.
• A proven and reliable rotation unit with 4-speed gear box that can generate the high rates of penetration with very high torque when it is required.
• A reliable power unit, Cummins QSB 6.7 Tier III (153 kW), which brings out the full capacity of the rig, resulting in higher penetration rates to the bottom of the hole.
Radio remote controlled ( C6C)
The tramming functions of the rig can be precisely controlled from a safe distance, eliminating the danger
of being on or next to the machine while in motion. If radio contact is lost, tramming will stop automatically.
