Hydraulic tunnel drilling rig for coal mines

Description

The SMC Side-Mounted Fully Hydraulic Tunnel Drilling Rig is a crawler-driven, self-propelled system purpose-built for efficient, safe drilling in underground coal mine environments. Its side-mounted configuration and full-circle drilling capability make it ideal for regional pre-drainage, working face drilling, and geological exploration under varying strata conditions.

With a compact design, powerful feed and pull-out forces, and a suite of built-in safety features, this rig is optimized for precision, adaptability, and operator protection across the full cross-section of a tunnel.
