The FH2000 model shares many common components with the field proven FH3000, including rotation head, mast structure, head traverse system, control system and rod clamps. This modular design concept allows for increased operator familiarization with common user interface, reduced parts support inventory, ease of technical support through common hydraulic systems.
Latest generation Tier 4 emissions rated Caterpillar C7 diesel engine. Exceeds the current emissions requirements for industrial engines. Extensive use of manifold blocks in the hydraulic system to reduce the number of fittings and hoses, therefore reducing the number of potential leak points. Catchment trays with an accessible drain point incorporated into the control cabinet design. Hinged control panel mount to allow better operator visibility and moves the operator from close proximity to the potential danger areas oxf the drill.
New Rotation Head design, reduced noise at high speed, increased efficiency via a selectable planetary gear system, increased torque and horsepower to the drill rods, pressurized oil system for head lubrication and cooling. Increased drilling capacity through higher pull back and main winch performance. Similar size foot print to smaller capacity drills. Head racking system to allow full clearance for large diameter rods and casing handling. Improved Traverse cylinder design with easily replaceable gland seals. The gland seals can be replaced without removing the cylinder. Automatic traverse rope adjustment via take up cylinders. Modular design principles have been used with a focus on improved maintenance access and ease of component change out.
