Built for Demanding Foundations. Engineered for Maximum Flexibility.
When projects demand power, precision, and adaptability, the DELMAG RH 27 delivers.
Designed for modern foundation construction, the RH 27 is built to handle a wide range of drilling applications without compromising performance. From large-scale infrastructure projects to tight urban job sites, this rig gives contractors the flexibility to tackle changing ground conditions, varying pile requirements, and restricted working environments with confidence.
Why the DELMAG RH 27 Stands Out
One of the RH 27’s biggest strengths is its ability to adapt.
Foundation work rarely happens in ideal conditions. Contractors often face limited access, overhead restrictions, changing soil conditions, and aggressive production schedules. The RH 27 was designed with those realities in mind.
With multiple short leader mast configurations available, the machine can be converted from a standard 23-meter mast configuration down to compact setups under 10.5 meters tall for restricted-access work.
That flexibility allows crews to work in:
Urban construction environments
Low-headroom applications
Bridge and infrastructure projects
Confined sites with limited clearance
Large-scale foundation drilling operations
Instead of limiting the jobsite to fit the machine, the RH 27 adapts to the job.
Engineered for Serious Drilling Performance
At the core of the RH 27 is the BT 270 rotary head, delivering up to 270 kNm of torque for demanding drilling applications.
Combined with a robust CAT C9.3B engine producing 310 kW of power, the RH 27 is built to maintain productivity in difficult ground conditions.
The machine is capable of handling:
Kelly drilling
CFA drilling
VDW drilling
WSM - Soil Mixing
Uncased drilling operations
Its high crowd force, efficient hydraulic system, and precise mast control give operators the power and control needed for demanding foundation applications.
Designed with Operators in Mind
The RH 27 is not just about raw power. It is designed to improve efficiency on site.
The innovative Docking-System allows the rotary head to be mounted quickly and safely, reducing setup time and simplifying machine configuration changes.
Additional features include:
Foldable handrails for safer access
Integrated camera monitor system
Hydraulic extendable undercarriage
Tool handling mode for improved operation
Optimized transport dimensions for mobilization efficiency
Every detail is focused on reducing downtime, improving safety, and maximizing productivity in the field.
Built for Modern Foundation Construction
The DELMAG RH 27 represents what contractors expect from today’s foundation equipment:
Power without compromise
Flexibility across applications
Reliable drilling performance
Efficient transport and setup
Adaptability for restricted-access projects
From major infrastructure work to challenging urban environments, the RH 27 is built to perform where other rigs reach their limits.
