Atlas Copco’s T2W-III single-engine rig for rotary and down-the-hole (DTH) drilling in the 30,000-pound class is designed for air and mud applications, and ships with an on-board 900/350 air compressor. The Series III provides a 12-rod capacity in the carousel at 3.5", with swing in/swing-out backload capability, allowing single-person operation under appropriate conditions. A rod box mounted to the rig carries an additional 12 rods at 3.5". Total depth capacity is 480 feet. Another new feature is an optional 15,000-pound winch, with two-part line, matching the pullback of the rig. This allows the operator to trip out of the hole with the winch or the head. An optional hydraulic front drive assist delivers a functional 6x6 drive, and automatic transmission provides reduced fuel consumption, as well as simplified operation and training.
