KB30 - Drilling rig for great depths, heavy loads and extensive drilling projects
The KB30 is the largest drilling rig in the KB series and was designed for applications requiring high feed forces, large bore diameters, and greater depths. With an operating weight of over 10 tons, a particularly stable chassis platform, and an integrated drill string magazine, the KB30 offers ample power reserves and smooth operation for extensive well drilling, geothermal drilling, and exploration projects.
Compared to smaller models, the KB30 offers a more stable base, higher load capacity, and greater performance stability over longer work cycles. This makes the machine particularly suitable for projects involving varying soil conditions, larger diameters, or increased extraction depths – without requiring the operator to use a large-scale specialist foundation engineering system.
The KB30 is therefore the right choice for users who are looking for a powerful, robust and at the same time technically manageable drilling rig to implement larger or longer-lasting drilling projects economically and reproducibly.
