New masonry products for December 2012

Words: Dan Kamys

PowerROC T35 E Surface Drill Rig

Atlas Copco
Commerce City, Colo.

Atlas Copco’s T35 E surface drill rig is an extendable boom version of the T35 drilling rig currently in use. This new, no-cabin model provides straighter holes, more safety and comfort for the operator and easy-access maintenance. The new PowerROC was designed with an aluminum feed system to drill straighter holes. Aluminum is highly resistant to bending, and the prism shape of the feed profile allows two directional sliding surfaces as a stable guide for the rock drill cradle.
