How to Match the ZDX-1500L to Your Project
When you size a 1500 m-class exploration programme, the ZDX-1500L full hydraulic crawler core drilling rig is engineered for the bottom of that depth band rather than for shallow production. Three figures frame the match: a maximum core drilling depth of 1500 m, a maximum hoisting force of 180 kN, and a rated power of 194 kW (265 HP) that drives the rotary head through a stepless 0-1200 r/min hydraulic range. The reinforced vertical hydraulic mast and constant-pressure feed control are built to pull 75, 91 and 110 mm core strings through hard granite, metamorphic rock and fractured deep strata without fragmentation; where a conventional rig would lose core quality below 1000 m, this crawler exploration drilling rig keeps recovery rates high. If your typical hole stays under 800 m, a lighter core drilling rig gives you the same data at a lower capital cost.
Before requesting a ZDX-1500L drilling rig quotation, send three site-specific inputs: the target coring diameter (75, 91 or 110 mm), the expected rock hardness and whether the section includes dense or fractured intervals, and the ground conditions at the pad. The self-propelled hydraulic chassis climbs grades up to 35 degrees and travels at 0-3.0 km/h, so steep mountainous or wetland terrain decides which undercarriage package you need; the working range of -30 C to +55 C is standard, and dust-proof, sand-proof and low-temperature upgrades are factory options rather than baseline specification.
Pricing is configured around the hydraulic power unit, mast length and coring tool set rather than published as a fixed list, because each exploration drilling rig is built to a specific hole programme. Send your core interval, formation profile and pad access notes, and a benchmark quotation is normally prepared within two working days so you can budget the unit against your season schedule.
