High productivity and low cost of ownership is yours with the MD6240 Rotary Drill. With bit load force of 24 000 kg (52, 911 lb) and the capability to drill depths up to 55.47 m (182 ft) the MD6240 is well equipped to drill in hard or soft rock applications. Built to be reliable, safe and easy to service for years to come.The mast is made of heavy-duty ASTM A500 Grade B steel tubing on all four chords and cross members, which creates a torsionally strong mast structure and reduces the material fatigue.All mast structures are designed with double-cut lacing in high stress areas to prevent cracking and assure long life.The mast can be raised or lowered with full pipe rack and full drill string on the rotary head, in less than 40 seconds.Heavy-Duty FrameThe A-frame is an integral extension of the mainframe, providing a strong, low maintenance design.The mainframe design assures structural integrity. The main rails, made of ASTM A500, Grade B, rectangular steel tubing, are heavily cross-braced and reinforced in high stress areas.Three point oscillating suspension allows the drill to negotiate rugged, uneven terrain without transferring excessive torsional forces to the mainframe, and allows continued stability while tramming between holes.Tram speed is 2.0 kmh (1.25 mph). Gradeability is 48% with the mast down.Ground clearance: 610 mm (24 in)Bearing ground pressure: 0.83 bar (12 psi)
