Comacchio MC4D: Built for Drilling in Tight Spaces

Getting a drill into position can be one of the biggest challenges on a job. Narrow entrances, low ceilings, and existing structures all affect what equipment can reach the work area.

The Comacchio MC4D is designed for these conditions. This compact hydraulic drilling rig uses a separate power pack and an articulated mast to carry out ground engineering work inside buildings, basements, small tunnels, and other restricted sites.



Why a Separate Power Pack Matters

On a tight site, every bit of working space counts. Separating the power pack from the drilling unit reduces the amount of equipment that needs to sit at the drilling location.

Comacchio’s limited access range allows the power pack to be positioned up to 30 meters from the drilling unit, depending on the setup. This gives crews more flexibility when planning equipment placement around an existing structure or underground work area. Electric power options are also available, eliminating engine exhaust at the point of operation.



Flexible Positioning in Low Clearance Areas

Reaching the drilling location is only part of the job. The mast also needs room to line up with the required hole position and angle.

The MC4D features a modular mast, available in telescopic or two-element configurations, along with an articulated positioning system using double slew rings. Radio remote control gives the operator flexibility when positioning the machine. It supports both rotary and rotary-percussive drilling methods, with accessories selected to suit the application.



Planning Around Your Site

Foundation work, underpinning, and ground consolidation often take place around structures that leave little room for equipment. These are the conditions Comacchio’s limited access range is designed to address.

Choosing a setup starts with the site details. Entrance dimensions, overhead clearance, working room, ground conditions, and drilling requirements all need to be considered before selecting a rig.
