LM™ PQ UNDERGROUND CORING DRILL 1 PROPORTIONAL CONTROLS

Proportional controls and lock levers provide
optimum control of rpm and feed
The LM PQ builds off the already popular LM110 and Nitro-
Chuck™ platforms with the addition of a PQ drill head.
The drill allows for a 50% increase in drilling depth for 2 SEMI-AUTOMATED ROD HANDLING (OPTIONAL)
NQ size. As with all LM drills, the rig can be operated with Semi-automated rod handler (optional) makes
remote control through the DCi™ (Drill Control Interface) handling of rods safer and easier
and supplied with a rod handler for enhanced safety. This
drastically reduces the driller’s exposure to potential hand LOAD SENSING HYDRAULICS
injuries, one of the biggest risks for a drilling operator. When Load sensing hydraulics maximize efficiency
paired together, drillers can utilize semi-autonomous drill and reduce heat
routines over breaks and shift changes which have been
found to increase productivity of up to 14%. 3 FAIL SAFE ROD CLAMP
Hydraulic open and spring close rod clamp
results in fail safe operation
