/PRODUCT REVIEW: DRILL RIGS
Meet MAX:
The 8000 lb beast that drills up to 3100 meters N-size
by Rishi Budshah, CMO at Hydracore Drills Ltd.
The story about HC5000max (Max) started when one of our existing customers requested a deep hole core drill that was truly heli-portable, meaning lifts under 2000 lb (907 kg). This request aligned with our market research showing that more holes were being drilled beyond 2000 m (6562 ft) and an increase in projects demanding core in H- and P-size. This highlighted the gap in the portable drill category for purpose-built deep hole drill rigs. Hydracore’s business philosophy is to challenge the status quo and this opportunity was exactly what was needed to make a difference while providing renewed value to our customers. Hydracore returned to the drawing board and embarked on designing a ‘Max’ version of the HC5000. 32
