Operating Movements

Built for complex underground drilling patterns

360° Radial Drilling

Drill multiple angles from one machine position for Simba-style production patterns.

Horizontal Drilling

Suitable for tunnel development, face drilling and horizontal underground holes.

Low-Level Parallel Drilling

The tower can operate close to floor level for parallel horizontal drilling.

Vertical Long-Hole Drilling

Configured for production and development drilling applications.

More Drilling with Less Repositioning

Multiple drilling directions from one setup help reduce unnecessary machine repositioning.

Compact Tracked Mobility

Self-propelled movement for underground mines, tunnels and restricted working areas.

Why AD200

Designed to increase underground drilling flexibility

Multi-angle capability

Radial, horizontal, low-level and long-hole drilling from one tracked platform.

Reduced repositioning

More drilling directions from one setup can reduce unnecessary machine movement.

Multiple drilling systems

DTH, Top Hammer and optional RC configurations can be selected by application.

Compact underground platform

Designed for tunnels, underground mines and restricted working areas.

Customization Options

Configure key machine elements around your drilling requirement

The final AD200 configuration can vary according to the drilling method, tower length, air requirement and optional equipment. Share your application details with our technical team before finalizing the machine.

Drilling Configuration

Choose DTH, Top Hammer or optional Reverse Circulation according to hole diameter, depth, rock conditions and application.

Tower Configuration

Tower length can be selected within the approximate 3.5–5.7 m range depending on the drilling requirement and final machine configuration.

Air & Compressor Setup

Air volume and operating pressure are matched to the selected drilling configuration, hole depth and application.

Application-Specific Options

Optional equipment and machine configuration can be adapted to production drilling, development drilling and exploration requirements.

Remote Operation

Detachable Operating Table for Greater Underground Flexibility

The detachable operating table allows the AD200 Jumbo Simba to be operated from a distance, giving the operator greater flexibility in complex and restricted underground mining conditions.

Turntable Rotation

180° Drifter Rotation for Greater Flexibility

The turntable allows the drifter to rotate through 180°, providing greater positioning flexibility for different drilling angles and confined underground working conditions.

Low-Level Parallel Drilling

Parallel Drilling Close to Floor Level

The AD200 can position the tower horizontally close to the floor, enabling low-level parallel drilling for tunnel development and other underground applications where working height is restricted.

Field Operation

Compact tracked mobility for confined working areas

The self-propelled tracked platform is designed for movement and positioning in underground mines, tunnels and restricted drilling environments.
