The new model features a 300 kNm torque drill motor for drilling bore diameters up to 1.8 meters. Most Junttan drilling rigs are even more robust with 400 kNm torque capacity and drilling diameters up to three meters.

The piling rigs are manufactured from start to finish at the same plant to ensure high quality and perfect compatibility between all components and subassemblies. Motors, gears, hydraulics and other technical components are purchased from internationally recognized suppliers guaranteeing easy availability of maintenance and repair services world-wide.

"Our drilling rigs have the same important features that our pile driving rigs are known for: efficiency, low center of gravity and fast set-up. The adjustable track width gives the piling rigs good stability in operation and makes them easily transportable", says managing director Juha Heinonen.

With their compact transport dimensions, the piling rigs can be moved from one place to another in one piece without any special arrangements. "For example, the leader can be shortened for transport, which is a really practical feature", Juha Heinonen stresses.

The new hydraulic pile driving rigs are friendlier to the environment and more practical than conventional diesel hammers and mechanical piling rigs, as they generate less noise and reduce vibration and harmful emissions. Other advantages include the possibility to use biodegradable oils in the hydraulic system. Junttan's multi-purpose hydraulic piling rigs are suitable for many different applications including driven piles and different kinds of bored piles.

"Our global service covers the customer's individual needs, from design to manufacture of the rigs. We have supplied hydraulic piling rigs and hammers in more than 40 countries all over the world", Juha Heinonen concludes.

Fact:
Junttan, a Finnish supplier of hydraulic pile driving rigs and hydraulic piling hammers, has also been manufacturing drilling rigs for almost ten years. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of heavy-duty equipment for this sector.
