The EX430, EX530 or EX538 Drill Attachment is custom built to fit your excavator model, these Excavator Attachments offer solutions for a variety of rock drilling applications such as: 

  • Small hole diameter drilling of 32mm - 76mm depending on the drifter type and model
  • Percussion Drilling using Hydraulic Drifters or Pneumatic Drifters 
  • Core Drilling

 

The same small EX-Aluminium Drill mast is used for the EX430, EX530 and EX538 attachments. On these units we fit the hydraulic drifter or pneumatic drifter that best suits your needs. The purpose of these attachments is to offer a very lightweight attachment for small hole diameter drilling in hard rock and tight areas. The smaller hydraulic drifters require less hydraulic oil flows from the carrier unit. If you dont have the hydraulic oil flow for the hydraulic drifters you can also opt for the Pneumatic drifters which offer up to 10kW of energy. 

The EX430, EX530 & EX538 attachments come with many optional extras to choose from such as:

  • Dust Suppression 
  • 360 degree rotator/s
  • Multiple Mast Lengths available
  • Centraliser
  • Pressure Washer Attachment
  • Shipping and Storage Platform
  • Remote Controls (2 options available)
  • Air Swivel
  • WEM Excavator Mount
  • Angle Indicator (x, y)
  • Line Oiler
  • Energy Chain for Hydraulic Hose handling (for extended mast mainly)
  • Quick Change Drifter Mount

 

Once the experienced Drill Connex representative understands the type of Drilling, the Hole Diameter/s and drill Depths required Drill Connex can start to discuss with you a targeted build to suit your needs. These units are well priced and manufactured in the USA.
