How to Match the ST C600 to Your Project
When a mineral exploration programme scatters core sampling points across forested slopes, gravel flats and ungraded survey trails, the hidden cost is rig-up and relocation time — not the metres drilled. The ST-C600 crawler exploration drilling rig is dimensioned for exactly this medium-depth sampling work: 600 m maximum core depth on 75, 91 or 110 mm holes, a full-hydraulic spindle turning to 1200 r/min with 2800 N·m of torque, and a 2600 kg self-propelled rubber-track chassis that walks itself between points without a haul truck. Where a skid-mounted core unit needs crane support and all-weather road access, this machine in-situ turns and positions itself, which is why survey crews on mountainous, wetland and fractured-ground programmes choose it for point-to-point mapping rather than a single fixed hole.
Before requesting an ST-C600 quotation, send us the three things that decide the match: your target core diameter and required core recovery rate, the planned rod length of the hole string, and the terrain the survey line crosses — the low-ground-pressure undercarriage is tuned for soil, sand-gravel, weathered rock and medium-hard fractured ground, not hard-rock production drilling. Tell us also whether your sites have grid power or need the standard 62 kW diesel pack, because the optional electric-motor drive changes the power enclosure and noise profile. The rig runs from -25 °C to +55 °C; dust-proof sealing and widened-track upgrades are selected per climate and ground bearing.
Factory acceptance testing can be arranged before shipment, and spare-parts support carries on after handover — universal-spec hydraulic components keep consumables easy to source worldwide. Because each machine is built around the core tooling package, power source and terrain upgrades your survey requires, the quotation follows your programme scope instead of a catalogue number.
