Features

Electric engine

The innovative Liebherr machine has an electric engine with a system power rating of 265 kW.

Battery

The battery is designed to last for a 10-hour working day and can be simply recharged using a conventional jobsite electric supply (32 A, 63 A). Using a 125 A supply, the battery can be fast-charged in barely 7 hours.

Local Zero Emission

The machine causes no local emissions and significantly less noise. Thus, the drilling rig is also suitable for operation in areas sensitive to noise.

Comfort

This includes a modern air-conditioning system with improved airflow, an optimized field of vision and reduced noise protection, as well as an orthopaedic operator’s seat with integrated heating and cooling.

Applications

Kelly drilling

Kelly drilling belongs to the most common dry rotary drilling methods. Soil and rock material is conveyed to the surface discontinuously with relatively short rotary drilling tools. more

Continuous flight auger drilling

The loosened soil material is continuously conveyed to the surface using a continuous auger, the so-called continuous flight auger. more

Double rotary drilling

Double rotary drilling combines continuous flight auger drilling with a continuous casing. more
