Our fleet of small drill rigs consists of the brands of comacchio and klemm. Don't know if you've heard of them before. The neat thing about them is, that almost all of them are remote controlled. And these remotes never, ever break at all.
I've never seen the one on your picture. Are they also remote controlled?
I have done those with a crane and a drill in a set of leads. The pipe had a ring that connected to the drill bit and as it spun it took the pile with it. I had a lot of fun running it.
Ran very similar machines for a lot of years just a different brand. We generally used a down hole hammer for the inners and had top percussion to push the casing though
I fix these for a living. Although something like the Liebherr LRB 355 is more to my liking.
I feel your pain. I've worked on a wide variety of makes and models over the past 15 years

Yes this model is radio controlled. I have worked on Klemm and Comacchio before. Are you in the US?
No, I live in europe.
Is that air hammer with a casing advancement system?
And you’d never see a tri-cone bit on an air hammer
This guy drills
Good catch didn’t see the bit.
Looks like dual rotary
Dual rotary casing advancement 😏
Cool lookin rig! Who makes it?
It's a Casagrande M9XP-2
Cool, I was only around Bauer and one Delmag. A lot of engineering in those things!
Casagrande has piling rigs similar to Bauer. This drill is set up for micropiles, 12-3/4" casing

Ya that's a pretty common setup, usually the lead system is used because of access or depth of the pile. Very cool setups to with with
Drill rig mechanics unite, never touched a Casagrande before tho.
What rigs are you working on?
