Geoprobe - Model 3100GT -Geotechnical Drill Rig
Drillers praise the 3100GT drilling truck for exceeding their production expectations, and it is now even more proficient with the addition of a percussion hammer. The geotechnical drilling truck under class A/B CDL easily and efficiently switches from continuous sampling with Shelby tubes, to blow counts, to auger drilling without needing to reposition mast or machine to simplify your geotech jobs. Additional advantages of the quiet drilling truck include:
- Sliding the head to the hands-free automatic drop hammer, or sliding the rotary head into position and engaging the hands-free rotation with a touch of the controls – keeping your driller out of the danger zone
- Creating stable mud flow with a separate hydraulic circuit dedicated to the mud pump – eliminating the battle between drilling functions and fluid circulation for hydraulic flow and pressure
- Providing maneuverability and modern amenities in a fuel-sipping, comfortable drilling truck – making it kinder to your bottom – line – and safer for your new drillers
Veteran drillers especially appreciate the comfort of the drilling truck but also the operating versatility. Training new drillers or launching drilling operations in state agencies and engineering firms is efficient thanks to the easy operation and safety features (beyond just e-stops) of the 3100GT drilling truck, including:
- Ditch-side control panel putting more distance between traffic and operator
- Telescoping mast reducing power line collisions
- Hands-free controls for feed and rotation facilitating rock coring and mud rotary
Owners depend on the 3100GT drilling truck to perform jobs efficiently, paramount for successful geotechnical sampling. Profits lie not only in getting footage done quickly and easily, but above all, safely. Quality construction and numerous features and options on the drilling truck provide versatility to outperform the competition.
- EASY: all six functions along the centerline use machine hydraulics and controls to side-shift without manipulating mast position or mobilizing multiple machines - simply set it and forget it. Controls grouped by function make it easy to move several levers simultaneously. Built-in CPT functionality simplifies cone penetration testing and hands-free controls for feed and rotation reduce operator fatigue during rock coring.
- EFFECTIVE: versatility to complete an array of sampling techniques – in unconsolidated and consolidated formations - with a single machine without compromise. Separate hydraulic circuit dedicated to mud pump provides stable mud flow.
- EFFICIENT: fuel-efficient transport averages 15 mpg and minimizes maintenance expenses supporting only one engine while providing power to travel at highway speeds. Ample storage keeps tools right where you need them near the control panel or on the breakout. And because the drilling truck is under class A/B CDL, save on insurance and streamline hiring of new drillers.
