When you think of rock drilling machines, you might think about large bulky equipment that’s not easy to maneuver. The truth is, some large drills are cumbersome if you have to use them in difficult terrain. However, this is not the case with a quality-made wagon drill. In fact, you’ll soon discover many important uses for your new machinery.
What is a Wagon Style Drilling Machine?
Wagons are self-contained drilling machines. Some have four wheels, and others are a three-wheel design. They can be towed or pushed where you need them, and you can use a winch attachment. Some equipment is easy to take apart so you can airlift it to just about any location you want. Some of the best wagons come with pneumatic tires for easy maneuvering, but should you choose a three or four-wheel system?
Four-Wheel Wagons
A four-wheel system is perfect for outdoor drilling in remote and hard to access areas. They are easy to set up, and you can use them with either percussion or rotary drifters. The axles are six feet apart, and if you need something with greater maneuverability, you can look at a three-wheel wagon drill.
Three Wheel Drills
Maybe you need to get inside a construction site to drill. Perhaps your project is inside a parking garage or large building. It can be almost impossible to get standard drilling equipment in areas like these. However, if you have a three-wheel wagon drill, it will not be a problem.
Three-wheel drilling wagons have two standard wheels with tires and a hitch that has a caster type wheel. This small wheel makes it possible to maneuver the machine in many different ways. You may order smaller axle width models to make it easier to get into tight space, and you can enjoy the benefits of manual controls or have a remote-control system.
