Equipment profile

Built around the project configuration

The SANDVIK Leopard DI650i is a self-contained crawler DTH rig for large-quarry and surface-mining production. Its current 115–229 mm published range, selectable 4- to 6-inch hammer package and high-pressure onboard air establish a large-hole platform for demanding bench programs.

A carousel pipe handler supports deep multi-pass drilling, while the fixed boom, oscillating FL7 carrier and rear ground support provide a stable production layout. The iCab operator environment and scalable navigation, data and automation packages allow the machine to progress from assisted drilling to advanced remote workflows when appropriately equipped.
