C6A EXTENABLE CORING RIG

FORWARD's C6A extendable mast core rig is a compact, crawler-mounted rig with all the user-friendly functions drillers are looking for, all at their fingertips. The rigs are built under strict quality control protocols and are rigorously tested before dispatch.

The C6A extendable mast core rig has been built with reliability in mind. It is assembled using only the very best first-world components such as Sauer Danfoss pumps and PVG valves, Danfoss and Eaton hydraulic motors, Continental Hoses, and Cummins engines.

The C6A is extremely compact but boasts depth capabilities that are typically found only on much larger rigs. Additionally, it drives straight into a shipping container, making it highly economical to ship anywhere in the world.

With safety in mind, the C6A has all the features that you’d expect in a modern rig, such as safety guards and emergency stop buttons on all corners of the rig, fire extinguishers, and optional automatic CO2 fire suppression.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The 2 Speed Rotation Head can accept all sizes of coring rods up to PQ

Patented chuck jaws and hydraulic opening/spring close function insures a fail-safe operation.

The Rotation Head is connected direct to the hydraulic feed cylinder which simplifies the whole mast design and minimizes maintenance.

The Rotation Head also slides off to the side and opens the whole mast up to run casing or pull tubes etc.

The Rigid design of the mast provides superior performance and reliability even under the toughest geological conditions.

The Mast raise cylinders are equipped with balancing valves to increase safety.

The telescopic mast allows the rig to be transported on short trailers or in a shipping container.

Both the Rotation and Fine Feed controls are fitted with friction dampeners with positive and easy to find neutral positions.

The steel hood provides adequate protection from the elements yet opens up for ease of maintenance.

All the hydraulic pumps are genuine Variable Displacement, Pressure Compensated, Load Sensed Sauer Danfoss Piston pumps.

The Haul Winch is securely mounted central to the rig chassis.

The Wireline Winch has auto spooling and 2 000 meters capacity.

The Crawler chassis is manufactured in house and has quality Korean sourced hydraulic drive motors.
