Economical Drill Rig for Environmental & Geotechnical Soil Sampling

Designed as a light weight, cost-effective machine for the contractor or consultant who only needs to do fast, economical, shallow holes. Although designed to drill to 10 m the optimum depth is 1 ½ to 2 m for both Auger Sampling and MC 5 Push Probe holes. The drilling method is altered by changing the bolt on head to either a hammer or auger drive. Both these options are easily fitted with the minimum of tools and equipment.

A petrol engine driving a direct coupled gear pump with a generous hydraulic tank is the standard power pack.

Specifications:

Pull back is 3,500 Kg
Push down 2,000 kg (depending on the carrier)
Rotation speed for the auger 120 Rpm
Blow frequency for the hammer 1,700 Bpm
The Auger configuration has a safety screen to prevent accidental contact with the rotating drill string and a guide for 3 ½ (nominal) augers.
The mast is weighted to be easily manually raised.
Drilling loads are taking on the mast via an adjustable foot.

Applications:

While our preference is for a dedicated carrier, as an option the sampler uses the tried and proven Eziprobe technology for the drill, the innovation is not in the drill but the sub frame that attaches the machine to the carrier. On a small drill like this one, much of the expense is in dedicating a carrier for a drill that might not be used full time. The sub-frame design allows the machine to be fitted to a number of commercial steel drop side ute trays, thus allowing the carrier to be used for other things when not drilling or hiring a vehicle when needed. The rig can be easily lifted off (or on) with either an overhead crane or fork lift.

+ Light hydraulic jacks with valving
+ Alternative engines to match an existing fleet
+ Carrier alterations
+ Corporate colour scheme
+ Under sling swivel for air drilling
+ MC 5 tooling for Meredith sampler

About Us
101 Sampling Solutions Pty Ltd are manufactures of drilling rigs and systems for environmental sampling, agricultural soil testing, geo-technical testing, mineral exploration, earth stake, ground anchor installation and shallow water wells. Using their base machines and standard options, 101 is able to custom build a drill to suit your “particular drilling application”.

We can make a difference and help you find the right equipment for you and your business requirements.

With the motto of “little drills for big jobs“, 101 was established in 2015 to build small drills for hard logistical locations or where the expense of a larger machine is not warranted. To this end 101 has focussed on 5 main modules: the easy mount and affordable Meredith Sampler, the light weight 1750 Scout, the 2100 Explorer, the 3300 Drill and the Eziprobe. All machines are multi-purpose and have a range of options enabling the end user to have a purpose built machine from standard components. This enables the operator to start with the base model in the range, adding the options, as necessary, when the work requirements change, keeping the investment to a minimum.

For Geo-technical and environmental work, 101 manufactures and supplies a range of push tube and small hand held soil sampling machines and tooling that includes solid and hollow augers.
