MCE400 Fully Hydraulic Wireline Core Exploration Drilling Rig – Compact, Agile & High-Speed Coring for Mining Exploration 400M Depth

The MCE400 Fully Hydraulic Wireline Core Exploration Drilling Rig is a compact, agile, and high-performance coring solution engineered for mining exploration and geotechnical drilling programs where speed, maneuverability, and efficiency are paramount. Its small footprint and lightweight design (5.3–5.8T) enable operation in tight, confined sites while delivering rapid penetration and quick core retrieval – significantly compressing project timelines and reducing overall exploration costs.

The fully hydraulic system provides smooth, responsive control across all functions, while the integrated wireline coring capability – featuring 500m rope capacity, 15kN lifting force, and 110m/min hoisting speed – enables exceptionally fast core retrieval without tripping the entire drill string, maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime. Designed for straightforward operation, the MCE400 minimizes training requirements while maintaining consistent, high-speed drilling performance even in remote locations.

Available in two track configurations – rubber track (FDX-400) for minimal ground disturbance and sensitive site operations, or steel track (FDG-400) for superior durability in rugged, off-road terrain – the MCE400 delivers exceptional versatility across varied exploration environments. With 480m BTW, 400m NTW, 200m HTW capability, 16T lifting force, 8T propulsion force, and 45–90° drilling angle adjustment, the MCE400 handles a wide range of exploration requirements while delivering the speed, agility, and economic efficiency needed to keep exploration programs on schedule and within budget.
