SmartROC T40 is a smart solution

The new drill rig SmartROC T40, which went on display at the ConAgg show in Las Vegas, March 22, saves time, money and the environment. Designed for construction and aggregate production, SmartROC T40 is said to be the most fuel efficient rig in its hole range (76?127 mm) as well as safe, easy to use and service friendly.

Maurice Hunter at Atlas Copco USA says: ?This rig really uses innovation and modern technology in the right way. Instead of making it more complicated, its main goal is to make it much easier to operate and service than any other rig on the market.?

A new ergonomically designed interface enables all main operations to be performed by using just two joysticks and one screen. ?For the first time it is as easy and comfortable managing a drill rig as an excavator,? adds ?Atlas Copco Product Manager Hakan Aytekin. ?We listened to the customer feedback from existing rigs and made it so easy that even a non-skilled driller can manage it. ?

It is also the first Atlas Copco rig to be equipped with the new Tier 4 engine which reduces emissions of NOx by 50 % and particlematters by 90 %.
