Vertical drills, which are also known as rock drills, rotary drills, or top hammer drills, have the versatility to allow them to be used for a variety of different construction, mining, and oil and gas applications. Unlike horizontal drills, they use all of their power to drill straight down into rock, dirt, and other materials. Most new and used vertical drills for sale are equipped with tracks which allow them the capability of working on rough terrain. Some have an open air cab and controls, but others are enclosed and have climate controls and other features for operator comfort. Vertical drills are typically utilized to drill holes for structural footings in a construction setting, to drill blast holes for mining purposes, and for oil and natural gas exploration.
The most common type of vertical drills for sale feature a cab, a flat platform on tracks, and a mast which contains the drill rig. They use various drilling techniques to drill holes that range widely in diameter and depth based on the purpose or application. Techniques include mud rotary and down-the-hole drilling, among others. Some vertical drills are equipped with mud pumps which will continuously cycle the drill fluid into the drill pipes to keep the bit properly lubricated, allowing for better performance and less risk of overheating. Down-the-hole drills actually hammer the bit at the end of the string which in turn pulverizes the rock. The rock is then either blown out of the hole using compressed air or collected and extracted through a pump.
