Remote controlled all-terrain drill unit

摘要

An apparatus adapted for maneuvering and drilling at least one hole at a site location is described as having an engine mounted in a supporting frame, at least part of the supporting frame including members that are adapted to contain a reservoir of fuel and a reservoir of hydraulic fluid, a hydraulic pump operatively attached to the engine, an electrical-hydraulic system operatively attached to the pump, and four extensible bi-directionally driven wheels along with a control panel that is adapted for remote use to control and to monitor the apparatus. A boom, capable of motion along a plurality of axes, is operatively attached and is adapted to receive a drill column or an accessory device, the accessory device being specifically designed to perform a special operation other than the direct drilling of a hole.
