EK90 image
USED
$639,000 USD
The GEAX EK90 is a
multi-purpose piling rig
designed to achieve the
highest levels of
versatility,
manoeuvrability, ease of
use, transportation,
production and reliability.
It is configured to operate
in various different piling
modes.
For each drilling mode a
special kit is designed to
optimize the
performances. However,
the modularity
of the components makes
the conversion among
the different kits
extremely easy, fast and
low-cost.
The GEAX EK90’s outstanding
production capability is
comparable to machines of a
much larger size. Its excellent
stability allows easy
manoeuvrability on job sites and
ensures fast and safe operating
movements. Its compactness
and low weight allows easy
transportation without special
permits.
The Hitachi Zaxis 160 or JCB
JS160 base carrier, constructed
to GEAX specifications, ensures
excellent reliability and
maintenance with operator cabin
comfort not available on
proprietary machines
The GEAX EK90 (in common with
other GEAX machines) has an
articulation structure similar to a
normal excavator with a long
boom supporting the mast. This
allows a wide range of mast
positioning and independent
adjustment of the vertical
position of the mast. Wire rope
positions are not dependent on
the position of the mast as the
winches are mounted on the
mast itself. This design,
compared to other machines,
usually with parallelogram type
mast supports, ensures the
following:
• Excellent rigidity and lightness
• More precise movements
• Fast setup time
• Wide range of tool positioning
• Simpler maintenance
• Better visibility for the operator

Drilling Rigs by brand

Foundation drilling rigs bore the shafts for piles, from kelly drilling with augers and buckets through continuous flight auger (CFA) work to displacement and double-head techniques. The rig supplies rotary torque through a kelly bar or drive head, together with the crowd force needed to advance the tool.

Choosing between machines usually comes down to the pile diameter and depth you need to reach, the ground you are working in, and the room available on site. Rotary torque, maximum drilling depth and the type and length of kelly bar are the figures most buyers compare first.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look at first when comparing used drilling rigs?

Start with rotary torque and maximum drilling depth, because together they set the pile diameter and depth the rig can realistically achieve. Then check the kelly bar type and length, the condition of the mast and undercarriage, and the recorded operating hours.

What is the difference between kelly drilling and CFA?

Kelly drilling excavates in stages with an auger or bucket on a telescopic kelly bar, and usually needs casing or support fluid in unstable ground. CFA drills to depth with one continuous auger and pumps concrete through the stem as it is withdrawn, which is faster and quieter but less suited to very deep or large-diameter piles.

Do used drilling rigs come with tooling?

Not always. Augers, buckets, core barrels and kelly bars are frequently sold separately from the rig, so confirm exactly what is included before agreeing a price.
