Proven productivity
Product Description
With a 97,000 lb (43,998 kg)* bit load capacity, the durable Pit Viper 271 XC is designed for adaptability - so it easily fits into any drilling operation.
The new Pit Viper 271 XC is one of the most productive drills available for rotary tricone and down-the-hole drilling of 171 mm to 311 mm (6-3/4" to 12-1/4") diameter holes. The durable Pit Viper 271 XC can drill a 55 ft (16.76 m) single pass. A 59 ft (18 m) option is also available. Single-pass drilling can improve drilling efficiency by up to 25% when drilling in soft material by eliminating rod change time and allowing more time for drilling. Eliminating rod changes also reduces the risk for operational errors.
The rig utilizes Epiroc's patented cable feed system with automatic cable tensioning for improved cable life, easier wear detection and smoother drilling. This design helps to increase the life of the bit and the drill string.
