2024 Liebherr Drilling rigs LB series LB 30

The LB 30 is the successor of the proven rotary drilling rig LB 24-270. Its torque is 297 kNm – a 10 % increase in comparison to its predecessor. Drilling with Kelly equipment, double rotary head and continuous flight auger are common methods. The machine can be transported with lowered leader system which enables a fast set-up time at the jobsite. The robust undercarriage provides an excellent stability. The leader can handle high torques and is also designed for high tractive forces of the rope crowed system. This allows for precise and fast drilling cycles.

Features may include:

• Strong winches enable highest performance even under the most difficult conditions. Furthermore, the noise emission is considerably reduced thanks to their elastic mounting.

• Both the counterweight and the leader are modularly constructed. This enables quick and easy assembly and flexible application.

• Basic machine and leader with all hydraulic hoses connected can be transported in one piece. The minimized assembly work allows for quick and easy transportation of the machine between jobsites. Hence, time and money is saved even before operation starts.

• The latest version of the rotary drive has a newly developed Kelly shock absorber, which allows the damping strength to be adapted depending on the respective weight of the Kelly bar.

• The leader top is designed for different drilling axes and is therefore suitable for all applications.

• This includes a modern air-conditioning system with improved airflow, an optimized field of vision and increased noise protection, as well as an orthopaedic operator’s seat with integrated heating and cooling.
