 Compact drills deliver
top performance
BUILT TO LAST!
Rotary blasthole drills from Sandvik set the standard for
productivity, durability, and cost effectiveness. These machines
are built for continuous drilling in some of the harshest operating
environments in the world. Proven designs, rigid lattice style masts,
heavy duty pulldown chains, and durable power groups place these
rigs in a class of their own. Structural strength, easy maintenance,
and world-wide support, all maximize drilling time and keep
you on top of your production schedule. Sandvik also offers the
worlds widest range of tools and accessories for rock drilling.
Equip these drills with products that are renowned for quality
and high performance and you build a complete drilling system
unmatched in productivity. Choose the right Sandvik rig for your
needs and count on it to perform for years to come.

PROVEN DRILLS FOR DEPENDABLE OPERATION

The diesel powered, self-propelled crawler mounted D25KS
and D245S drills deliver the most performance from a compact
production machine. Sharing a common platform, the extensive
lists of standard and optional equipment maximize these drills
performances in an impressive range of applications. Regardless
of the specification, each D25KS and D245S is mounted on a
powerful undercarriage and is highly maneuverable and stable.
First pass capability is 8,65 m (28' 5"), augmented with additional
pipe loaders for multi-pass drilling.

Consider Sandvik your source for equipment that meets the

challenges of adapting to rugged mining environments. The D25KS
and D245S have proven their worth around the world from the
extreme cold of the North slope in the Arctic to the blazing heat
of the mines in Africa. When you offload the drill on your jobsite
you reduce a big part of your scheduling problems. These drills

from compact drills
Rigid lattice style masts and heavy duty pulldown chains are part of
the package that make Sandviks D25KS and D245S blasthole drills top
performers in a class of their own. The angle drilling option is one of
the many features that drive this performance in an impressive range of
applications. The mast can be set in 5 increments, from 0 to 30 for
drilling angle holes.

These drills have solid engine and compressor options that provide the
right combination for each drilling condition. The engine and compres-
sor range allows for optimized hole flushing and the most power for
