CME-45C

This is one of our most versatile drill rigs. It can be mounted on a truck, trailer, skid, ATV or the CME-300 rubber track carrier. It can even be made helicopter-portable. A skid/trailer configuration gives you two options. You can use the drill as a conventional trailer mounted unit, or you can easily remove the drill from the trailer and skid it up or down steep slopes, or through narrow openings. The CME-45C has the same drilling capabilities as the CME-45B but can also be equipped for angle drilling.

CME-85

This rig has big power. And it was built to handle that power. There are no compromises. Everything is heavy-duty. The right angle drive, the rotary box, the frame, every component was specifically designed to take the forces this drill can produce, and then some. Like all CME drills, the CME-85 is designed with many features for easy operation. A patented hydraulic kelly bar lift system, for instance, makes coupling and uncoupling the kelly bar to the right angle drive virtually effortless. The transmission has six forward gears so there’s a rotation speed and torque combination for just about any situation, from large diameter auger drilling to deep rotary jobs. With 22,950 foot pounds (31,116 Nm) of torque, the CME-85 can handle hole sizes up to 18.5 inches (47 cm) in diameter using hollow-stem augers.
