Strong Achievers - Lower Your Cost of Ownership

Reliable Performer

Low cost of ownership and reliability are yours with renowned Cat Rock Drills. Building on a legacy of simplistic power, these drills have long life expectancy and are field serviceable. This combination of sturdy design and easy maintenance means more hours of reliable, low-cost operation. For added efficiency, the pistons are matched to the cross section of the rod so the wave form is properly matched for maximum energy transfer.

Durable Design

A simple design coupled with high strength materials yields exceptional durability.

• Having only half of the components of competitive models, there are fewer internal parts to wear
• There are four major housings bolted together with high strength flanges eliminating troublesome long tie rods
• Long life alloy bushings
• Fast response accumulators provide a smooth and efficient hydraulic oscillation
• Long leakage paths of the oscillator bearings yield high volumetric efficiency

Owner Serviceable

• Cat Rock Drills are so simple that owner serviceability is a viable alternative and cost savings
• Other models require downtime for round trip transportation to a clean room environment
• Only their OEM service technicians can perform the maintenance and repairs
• All maintenance and rebuilds can be done in your shop and some maintenance can even be done with the rock drill still mounted to the feed
• Accumulator assemblies may be replaced in the field
• Troubleshooting is easy since there are half the components of other drills

Automated Rock Drill Lube System - Optional

Peak performance is sustained when your rock drill is kept lubricated, cool, and automatically maintained with our new Auto Rock Drill Lube System. Operators no longer have to stop drilling to manually grease the rock drill every two hours.

• Saves more than forty hours a year over manual greasing
• Components reach full life expectancy at proper lube intervals
• Grease reservoir capacity can hold enough for up to five 10 hour shifts
• A timer board cycles the grease pump throughout the day eliminating maintenance time
• High and low pressure conditions are continually monitored

Standard on the MD5075 is the HPR4519 hydraulic powered percussion rock drill rated at 19 kW (25 hp) output energy with dual hydraulic variable rotation motors producing 908 N∙m (670 lbf-ft) torque.

Improve Your Productivity
