Redbore 50

The Redbore 50, has been designed as a mid-capacity drill to replace much larger equipment. The Redbore 50 has the same footprint as the Redbore 40 and requires only slightly more back height. The Redbore 50 can be configured to downream 28.5 in. (724 mm) diameter through the table. Nominal capacities range from 42 in. (1.07 m) up to 7.0 ft. (2.13 m) diameters with lengths of raises up to 600 ft. (183 m).
