Angle Drilling Dando Terrier

This small crawler mounted rotary rig is fitted with a mast dump for angle drilling up to 45 degrees from vertical in areas of difficult access and terrain.

The Angle Drilling Terrier’s ultra-small footprint and easy manoeuvrability means the rig is particularly suited to work in jungle and forest environments, causing very little disturbance to its surroundings. Supplied with Dando’s track mounted compressor unit, providing 400cfm at 170psi, one of our customers’ rig is being used for gold exploration in the deep jungles of the Congo using Rotary Air Blast drilling.
