Key features of Excavator Mounted DTH Drill Mast

  • Modular mast system – length adjustable from 2–15 m with bolted extension sections.
  • Built for heavy DTH drilling – frame engineered to handle continuous load and hard rock conditions.
  • PK-1200 rotary head – 12 kNm torque, 60 RPM, API REG 4-1/2” BOX, integrated air swivel.
  • High extraction force – 100 kN pull-back for demanding casing and anchoring work.
  • Quick coupler interface – compatible with common S70 / S80 adapters.
  • Radio remote control – drilling operated from a safe position with clear visibility to the mast.
  • Side-view angle piece (optional) – 90° adapter to make the mast visible directly from the cabin.
  • Large tilt range – mast tilt +86° to −14.5° (customizable up to 90°)
  • Robust Finnish manufacturing: Built in Finland for durability and long service life in heavy workshop use

    One Mast — Multiple Applications

    The Tri-Mach modular drilling mast is designed as a long-term platform rather than a single-purpose attachment. By combining modular mast sections, interchangeable drilling systems, and robust Finnish engineering, contractors gain a flexible tool capable of adapting to changing jobsite demands.

    • Piling casing drilling for diameters 90mm – 323mm
    • Anchor casing DTH drilling
    • Rock Drilling with DTH
    • Pile Driving (with hammer attachment)
    • SDA anchor drilling (with top hammer attachment)

    FAQ: Excavator Mounted DTH Drill Mast

    A modular drill mast allows the drilling system to be configured with bolted mast sections, enabling adjustable mast lengths typically ranging from 2 to 15 meters. This flexibility allows contractors to adapt the excavator-mounted DTH drilling attachment precisely to site conditions instead of relying on a fixed-height drilling rig.

    Short mast configurations are ideal for drilling in restricted environments, such as beneath bridges, inside industrial facilities, under power lines, or in urban construction sites with limited overhead clearance. Longer mast setups can be quickly assembled when deeper drilling capacity or longer casing installation is required, maximizing productivity on open job sites.

    The modular design also improves transport logistics, as mast sections can be moved separately and assembled on-site, reducing mobilization challenges and enabling access to difficult locations. By using one adaptable drilling system instead of multiple rigs, contractors achieve higher equipment utilization and lower operating costs.

    01. An excavator-mounted DTH drilling attachment combines the power of Down-The-Hole (DTH) drilling with the flexibility of a standard excavator, allowing contractors to perform drilling operations without mobilizing a separate drilling rig.

    02. This solution significantly reduces transport costs, setup time, and site logistics, especially on infrastructure, piling, anchoring, and foundation projects. Because the attachment uses an existing excavator carrier, operators benefit from improved accessibility in confined or uneven job sites where conventional drilling rigs may struggle.

    03. Modern excavator-mounted DTH systems also offer high torque rotary heads, adjustable mast lengths, and precise positioning, enabling efficient drilling in hard rock, boulders, and mixed ground conditions while maintaining strong productivity.

    Excavator-mounted DTH drilling attachments are designed for versatile drilling applications across construction, infrastructure, and geotechnical projects. They are particularly effective in hard rock and heterogeneous ground formations where reliable penetration and controlled drilling are required.

    Typical applications include:

    • Micro piling and foundation drilling
    • Casing advancement and ring bit drilling
    • Rock anchoring and soil nailing
    • Horizontal and inclined drilling
    • Road, railway, and utility crossings
    • Quarry and slope stabilization work

    Thanks to modular mast design and adjustable drilling angles, these attachments allow contractors to perform vertical, inclined, and limited horizontal drilling using a single machine platform, improving equipment utilization and project efficiency.
